#person - [[Joel on Software]] - [[More Joel on Software]] - Founder of Stack Overflow - Founder of FogCreek, which includes Trello Along with [[Paul Graham]], he was one of the first "blogger". I feel like Joel's under-appreciated, even though his impact to the industry is tremendous. He has at least 3 large impact: * Joel's writings * [[Joel on Software#3. The Joel Test]] * [[Joel on Software#26. Leaky Abstraction|Law of Leaky Abstractions]] * Stack Overflow * Trello # On Stack Overflow *Q: Is Stack Overflow relevant* > [!note] Conversation with Noah > so, similar to the "stack overflow is now 10+ years old and i'm not sure if the answer is relevant", i think similar analogy can be drawn to newer electric car manufacturers - Tesla, and now Rivian. > > Most / all of the Teslas you're going to see out in the wild are going to be new and have consistent design languages. Whereas, even for a luxury brand like Mercedes, there are people who are driving 20+ years old worn down cars with several generations of design methodologies; This is the case no matter how hard you try with the next generation of cars as the amount of existing cars is going to dwarf the new cars you have. > > I think this is why the electric cars, even for the existing companies, are trying to pop out - create their own sub-brands (VW ID series; Hyundai Ioniq , ...) with their own styles, because they want the new cars to stand out, not be diluted by their existing cars.
