is it just me or does the background music make this demo seem like a movie preview?
seems like Joel is about to meet his long lost brother, who at first, completely ruins his life, but in the end makes him learn a lot more about himself!

#212How big was the team who built this? Stunning achievement, you guys should be proud.
BTW, I realize now this could be read sarcastically. I didn't meant it that way at all. I know from the blog post it took 9 months, but I'm also curious the composition of the team that built it.

#215Earlier quoted context omitted.
I believe this is called literate programming (LP), which focuses on real documentation (in the broader sense, including specs, etc) rather than mere API docs. There are quite a lot of LP tools, many of them being independent from the language. However, LP is not about tools. I've written LP programs that don't need any extra tool[1]. Rather, LP is about putting the documentation (spec, requirements, etc) at the high…
Have you written up your approach to / experiences with literate programming anywhere?
I'm not an expert on that topic, others have written it up better than I could:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming
- http://www.literateprogramming.com/
Nevertheless, I have done some experiments. Some time ago I submitted a small demonstration about "Self-Contained Literate Programming" to HN. It seems to have vanished, so I just resubmitted it. It would be great to get some feedback/discussion about that:

Together with some other students, I also created some homework for university in LP style (sorry, in German language only):

#216Oh you US people, I get internal server error when I try to activate account which contains ä character in the full name field... And when trying to change my name from the account page: Display Name can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, or the following characters: -_'.@+ Does this affect the Google account login also, it doesn't work for me either.
Python sucks at unicode, maybe they used python, not sure though.
It's "Node, Backbone, CoffeeScript and MongoDB".

#217Sniffing around the source, looks like a Backbone.js app -- cheers. I'd love to add it to the homepage as an example, if you want to email me a brief paragraph of description. Edit For those poking around, check out the top-level "Models" namespace.

What are you using to 'minify' your HTML code?
I noticed that it's just 1 line.

#218Hey, cool, a nice looking Kanban board! (The ones I've seen to date have either been pretty ugly, or too many features for what I want. This one looks just right)
Re: Joel Spolsky Launches Trello - Organize Anything Together
#219So I honestly don't get it. Is this a poor mans bug tracker? A possible re-invention of a bug tracker? (something wacky and different version of a bug tracker to see if it sticks?) I have seen people mention project management a bunch, but the view really isn't about viewing what people are doing. In fact items that don't have people assigned to them still show up. The 10 foot view isn't even that good as they all sq…
to me it looks like just a simpler version of Fogbugz. I am guessing on the back end they re-used a lot of code. Fogbugz offers more features, but this is more accessible, easier to use, and more basic so it can be used in many different ways.. I think it will put FogCreek in front of more developers and managers and get them into more spaces like GTD (rememberthemilk.com) areas...

There were two full-time devs, two designer-devs (they write code, for example the iPhone app, but also spent lot of time on UI, usability, and design), and two interns for 12 weeks over the summer.
