Daring Joel

Jesse Ezell has a posting on'Dare on Joel''. Not quite sure why daring Joel should be such an issue. Jesse's post was in reference to Dare's posting which was a timely response to Joel's views on using esoteric languages like 'Wasabi' which may be anachronistic.

I took on Joel on several occasions in the past - 'Reading Resumes', 'Joel learning from the Indians' and 'Joel's college advice (2 posts)'. Engaging in a dialog with multiple viewpoints is what makes blogging interesting (& productive). There are 'flaming zealots' (as Jesse puts it) which are akin to rock-star groupies but they too are needed in the discussion. True innovation in thoughts & product ideas comes from multiple sources and so does learning.
