In addition, I do not intend to seriously engage in podcasts and public speaking. Tweeter “Sucks, damn it, walkie-talkie; Sorry, just 140 characters I can not tell you what it is "".



Spolsky is not satisfied that the products of his Fog Creek company are well known to “5–10% of programmers who read programming blogs,” but “are almost unknown to everyone else,” despite the fact that many firms “got customers and grow well without spending a lot of time in the early years to create a cool blog.
