StackOverflow - Podcast #85

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss the pursuit of venture capital, why Joel is ending his blog, and the hidden power of Google’s web spider. We were surprised that so many people who read Joel’s article about our venture capital experiment were unable to imagine any way we could put millions of dollars to use. If you consider that our core mission is to kill software like vBulletin and phpBB, and you had millions of dollars, what would you do and how would you do it? W... (more)

Joel sits down with the Stack Exchange team, who are working on the hosted version of Stack Overflow at the Fog Creek offices in New York City. Meet the Stack Exchange team — David Fullerton, Aaron Maenpaa, and Emmett Nicholas. For Stack Exchange sites that have a smaller community, Stack Exchanges may email users more aggressively, to invite users to answer less trafficked SE questions. Joel proposes that weekly roll-up emails might work well on smaller Stack Exchange sites. Stack Exchange is a hosted... (more)

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss the promise and peril of Email (both social and technical), Google Buzz, and the value of training material. I will be at Webstock 2010 and in New Zealand for the next two weeks. I was excited to learn that the singer Wing is from New Zealand. Hear Wing in action. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. OK, maybe I didn’t warn you. I encouraged Joel to have the Stack Exchange team on for a podcast while I am gone for two weeks. There’s a lot of ... (more)

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff sit down with Mac developer Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater Software to discuss his experience as a longtime Mac developer and small Mac software business owner, and the possible impact of the iPad. Daniel launched Red Sweater software way back in 1999 (and has been an active Mac developer since 1995), but it didn’t become his primary business until 2005-ish. The big apps in his stable are MarsEdit, blog composing software, and Black Ink, a cros... (more)

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss the value of Deep Blue, the Five Whys process, and whether programmers should blog. If you work at a fancy company like Fog Creek, you’ll have access to a Latte machine, and you too can create Latte art! Checkers is now a solved problem. Chess is almost solved, in that no human player can beat the best software chess engines. In other news, Joel solved tic-tac-toe. Deep Blue was amazing technology for its time, but what was the value ... (more)

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss GitHub, the value of formal code documentation, and how to decide what features belong in the next version of your software. We’ve had some difficulty adapting to GitHub, where the reverse engineering of the Javascript Markdown (WMD) editor was performed. It regularly confuses everyone that encounters it, and that’s frustrating from a support perspective. For example, why does the MangOS project on GitHub have 854 branches? How is tha... (more)

In this episode of the podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss open sourcing Markdown, the necessity of barriers on the open internet, and the importance of design in the software process. We highlight three interesting Stack Exchange sites: Climate Deal (environmental climate change issues), ASCOM Answers (astronomy tech), and Math Overflow (professional mathematicians). Thanks to Anton Geraschenko (the operator of Math Overflow, who I erroneously, embarrassingly, and repeatedly refer to as “Jacob” in this pod... (more)

In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff sit down with Paul, David, and Matthew — the creators of Litmus and DocType — to discuss ASCII vs. pixels, the power of Amazon EC2, and the unglamorous but critically important topic of backup. The fine folks at Litmus created DocType partly as a homage to the Stack Overflow engine. We were so impressed we invited them into our League of Web Justice. You can view DocType as the intersection of what Litmus does (screenshots of browsers and ema... (more)

Just as a disaster planning exercise, what kind of things could happen that would destroy your software business? Your website? Joel proposes doing test failovers for live customers. He says the important metric isn’t measuring how long you are down, but how fast you can re... (more)

Stack Overflow Careers is now fully open for business! Joel explains what it’s all about, the proverbial programmer search engine. One thing we have resisted is employer demand for a sort order of CVs by Stack Overflow reputation scores. This is sort of like colleges sorting incoming applications by SAT or ACT scores. W...

Tom has written some classic sysadmin books such as Time Management for System Administrators, The Practice of System and Network Administration.

Stack Exchange is now officially in public beta! There are a huge number of sites running on the Stack Overflow engine. Far more than I expected at this early stage, anyway. The Stack Exchange sites are pushing the boundaries of the specific audience (that is, programmers) we designed it for. Consider the aud... (more)

Peter draws on some commonalities in the 15 famous programmers he interviewed for Coders at Work. Peter agrees with Joel that concurrent (threaded) programming is some of the hardest programming anyone can do — even the extraordinary programmers he interviewed concur on this point. Susan Lammers’ book Programmers at Work was the early inspi... (more)

As a dyed in the wool fan of fake plastic rock, I am required by law to mention that The Beatles: Rock Band was released last week. It’s great! We changed DNS providers, as our existing registrar’s DNS service was highly … irregular. Should you pay for outsourced, dedicated DNS? What do you get for that money? What kinds of value can outsourced DNS provide? What clever things can... (more)
