Joel Spolsky (and his ubuquitous book/blog “Joel on Software”)

This is the first time I'm read this person's name. From the blog author's description, it seems like he has lots to say, but not a lot of it is worthwhile.

Gasp Don't remind me how old I'm getting. Joel's blog was really big deal, upto ~15 years ago when he stopped blogging. He and Jeff Atwood created Stack Overflow.

And he created Trello

Thanks, you made me feel old today. Get off my lawn.

My age isn't likely to be the reason why I've never heard of him (or maybe forgot about him). Looking into him, he seems like exactly the type of person I wouldn't pay much attention to.

Someone who shares their experiences gained from writing real world software, with introspection into the dynamics & struggles involved?

Your age (or mostly career progression, which is correlated) may actually be a reason you have no interest in this.

I think you missed the mark on this one.
