My First BillG Review

Author

Joel Spolsky

Description

Joel gives us a peep hole into what it was like to be in a "review" meeting with Bill Gates at Microsoft during its hayday. I never thought of Billy as the kind of guy to be so liberal with the F-bomb.

Now that Bill Gates has announced he is stepping down, you can expect a lot of similar reminiscent-style articles to begin popping up across the web. Should be interesting.

Favorite Quote(s):

"In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there, along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the f***-count, the better."
