Smart & Gets Things Done

Smart & Gets Things Done Book Cover

I just finished reading the book Smart & Gets Things Done by Joel Spolsky. It is a very interesting read and a lot of the material is from his websites at Joel on Software and Fog Creek Software. If your looking to hire a programmer like me you should read the book. I'd love to find a company like Fog Creek that treats their programmers well and provides a nice quiet place to work. I totally agree with Joel where he talks about getting in the zone and the hours just fly. When I'm working in my home office the time just flies by and I forget to eat sometimes. Thankfully I have someone to watch out for me and send in food at regular intervals.

My Joel Score

I've seen a few other posts about the Joel Test score and I though I would figure out my score.

1. Do you use source control?

Yes. Subversion is my current source control software. For the Mac client I've been using svnX.

2. Can you make a build in one step?
