I know there are quite a few people who read Joel on Software, a blog written by a programmer who used to work for Microsoft. Joel is a legend, an iconoclastic voice that assails any mainstream dumbass lemming-like thinking. If you’re in IT, web development, or even web marketing, you should add him to your feedreader. Here’s an excerpt from a recent post, predicting the death of Gmail.
But then, while youre sitting on your googlechair in the googleplex sipping googleccinos and feeling smuggy smug smug smug, new versions of the browsers come out that support cached, compiled JavaScript.
And Gmail becomes a legacy. The WordPerfect of Email. And youll tell your children how excited you were to get 2GB to store email, and theyll laugh at you. Their nail polish has more than 2GB.
