I started reading the Joel on Software book yesterday after seeing it at Barnes and Noble and finding my self unable to put it back on the shelf.

This morning I hit Chapter 33, an article entitled Big Macs vs. The Naked Chef, a brilliant article on the effect of methodologies on a software development shop.

The book is full of great stuff like this, and I’m really enjoying being able to sit down and read it all at one time without clicking and scrolling.

If you haven’t picked up this book yet, I would highly recommend it. If you’re too cheap to buy it, hit his website, where all of the articles are available for free.

Its so nice to see a software development author out there with a healthy dose of common sense!
