Joel on Software - Mike Gunderloy's Coder to Developer.  [originally captured at 2004-05-05-09:16 -0700] I was IMing on my trans-middle-aged angst with anderbill and he pointed me to Joel Spolsky's Foreword to Mike Gunderloy's book.  I need to go back to Mike's site and see about the book again.  This text is harsher about computer science than I would be.  And it makes great personal testimony about what it takes to develop as a professional developer.  I am not going to say mathematics doesn't matter.  I want to emphasize how much else there is that matters.  I see this as affirming the affinity of software development to engineering.
