  Not hard, since he's written nothing but filler (see my office! Unicode like you can't find it elsewhere on the web!) for the past year or so. :)
  

• Yeah, Darrell, that's true. He's written some pretty high quality articles in the past though - and without trying to sound like a Joel Fanboy here - even most of his filler articles are better than what you find elsewhere.
  

• the question to ask is if API is a necessity in the age of plaforms (.NET/Java, etc). where the system landscape has width AND depth. Joel is OK in small doses.. :-)
  
  

• SBC - Isn't the same trend of breaking backwards compatibility occuring in the platforms though?
