Coders are from Mars, Designers are from Venus · 18 March, 07:29 PM

I wanted to respond to Martian Headsets, because it’s so, so wrong, but Mark Pilgrim did better than I could. I mean, really, after Joel harping on about “smart, gets things done”, would Joel accept “Those documents are super confusing” as an excuse in an interview, or for why a developer doesn’t understand something like operator precedence? Really, is there an excuse for ignorant or lazy? As Mark pointed out elsewhere, Joel’s CSS is perfectly valid. Probably because Joel hired someone who knew what he was doing.
