Some times seems like Joel is the last sane voice in software development. Check out this interview (mp3) with CIO Magazine. Things like “MySQL” and “data integrity” in the same sentence, Web 2.0, AJAX etc.

Feeling inspired, here’s a hack at an alternative definition for A Folksonomy: a technique that eliminates espensive-to-develop indexing logic by inspiring human beings to become data entry clerks.

Perhaps we need an update of this for the year 2005?

With all respect, I have found more and more editing errors in Sitepoint articles in the last few months. (…espensive…)

This is the blogging section of sitepoint – what gets written here goes straight from keyboard to web, without a review beforehand. Emphasis is on immediacy. Responsibility is the authors and fixes happen after the fact.

That’s in contrast to the articles which do get reviewed.

There is no mpg interview, only a mp3?

Thanks – fixed.
