"Google (you're on my radar) paying untenable salaries to kids with more ultimate frisbee experience than Python, whose main job will be to play foosball in the googleplex and walk around trying to get someone...anyone...to come see the demo code they've just written with their "20% time," doing some kind of, let me guess, cloud-based synchronization..." - ⓞnor
That bit of the post is fairly ridiculous. For one, if Joel's position were reversed--say he was a recently-graduated college student from a top school--he might not mind the 'untenable' salaries so much. :-) - Kevin Scott
As much as I enjoy making fun of stuff, I think Joel's post might be a better target than Microsoft Live Mesh. I'm not really sure what Mesh is, but it's probably a API for building cloud-hosted apps, so it seems a bit clueless to reduce it to "a way to synchronize files" and then to enduser cloud disk drive apps. What's next, claiming it's not better than a piece of paper? - j1m
