What an amazing track record from Joel Spolsky: Launched Fog Creek, then StackOverflow, Trello and now Glitch (which I think is the successor of Fog Creek)
In other Joel track record exploits, he's also our co-founder over at HASH.ai [1] and a driving force behind the Block Protocol [2][3]

A long-ranging conversation with Joel on, among other things, confluence of Catholic theology and the Talmud plus the memorable phrase “Shouldn’t you apply your skills to something which isn’t totally bullshit?” caused me to have a sharp reassessment of life and career goals, but for which it is unlikely I would have made a serious go of my consultancy, successfully launched my following few companies, or continued writing at anything like pace observed over the interval.
