I know it’s over an hour long, and setting that much time aside for a youtube movie sounds silly. On the other hand it’s a lot faster than reading a good book…
So, I really recommend watching this:

That works nice in theory, but will never work in practice

I have been planning to do more “I read this, liked it, have a look there” type of posts. Maybe I’ll create a specific linkblog for it, or work some del.icio.us magic, or just stick with small posts. Not sure on that one yet, but this is a good article, I really liked (as most of Joel’s articles).

Two quotes:

“The IE team has to walk a fine line between tight support for W3C standards and making sure sites coded for earlier versions of IE still display correctly.â€ This is incorrect. Itâ€™s not a fine line. Itâ€™s a line of negative width. There is no place to walk. They are damned if they do and damned if they donâ€™t. ”

“As usual, the idealists are 100% right in principle and, as usual, the pragmatists are right in practice. The flames will continue for years. This debate precisely splits the world in two. If you have a way to buy stock in Internet flame wars, now would be a good time to do that.”
