Joel on Software  I don’t like very many usability or software
blogs (mainly because most of the writers aren’t, and when they
do explain things, it never seems to be in English), but I
really like Joel on Software. He breaks software development and
usability issues into nice, easy tidbits anyone can understand.
Many of the topics he covers I have no real interest in (SQL
Server Mirroring? What the hell?), but the topics he does cover,
like how improving software doesn’t mean a complete rewrite of
such software, and usability for developers that don’t really
care, are well written, thought out, and easy to read.  Some
other software gurus (hey Dave Winer, you listening?) should
take notice.
