At the time, Joel was working with Microsoft, building products that were delivered on CD-ROM. As such, his day-to-day workflow was somewhat different than the kind of work many of us are used to doing today. That said, much of what he had in his 12-point litmus test still holds true! Which I believe is a testament to how fundamental his insights were. This week on the show, the crew reviews Joel's list, gives each item our personal Yay or Nay, and then adds a few requirements of our own.Also, if you want a quick run-down of what we discussed, Adam summarized much of what we talked about in The Working Code Test over on his blog.Follow the show and be sure to join the discussion on Discord!
