Joel Spolsky

Writing about how software teams work. Spolsky, a former Microsoft Excel programme manager, co-founded Fog Creek Software in 2000, whose bug tracker FogBugz and blog Joel on Software, with its twelve-point Joel Test of team practices, shaped how many developers judged employers. In 2008 he co-founded Stack Overflow with Jeff Atwood, and Fog Creek later produced the Trello task board and Glitch.
