Pablo Rodríguez Madroño Male, 30, Married. Barcelona, Spain

Everything on the book is also available on Joel's blog, but it is always refreshing to read him again.

Although many counsels are extremely useful - like smiling before speaking, for instance - the main lesson to learn from this wonderful book is empathy.

Some of the stories have delicious things to remember, but generally they are too religious for me.

A collection of stone-age essays (on Internet timing, anyway) about software. Style, quality, topic and extension are quite variable, but the overall impression is good.

This book was supposed to be re-edited annually with the best writings of the year. It is a pity it didn't succeed.

Some truths are told, but in spite of being quite obvious it is necessary that it is done as clearly as this book does.

Great insights from Joel Spolsky's blog, although all of the material has been already published on other books from the same author.
