Joel Spolsky is that rarity, a software developer who writes with great clarity about the nuts and bolts of his work. A good example is his new essay on “Leaky Abstractions” — which begins with a plain-English explanation of TCP/IP and ends with a discussion of why the developer’s job is so much harder today, despite the proliferation of “labor-saving” tools. A great read.
