atwood

Jeff Atwood used to think very deeply about this type of thing, the nuances of human behavior.

I think Atwood is being far too kind in accepting 50% of the responsibility for the data loss.

To be fair, Atwood thought his hosting provider (CrystalTech) was backing up his system.

If it wasn't Jeff Atwood but me, would it be more their fault?

Jeff Atwood has two posts on the topic that support flat comments.

I've always thought Jeff Atwood made a mistake with SO by making it OID Only.

See Jeff Atwood of StackExchange on his thoughts re: threading.

If the microformats specs are as bad as Atwood makes them sound, hopefully the attention they are receiving will force them to tight the spec up.

And then Jeff Atwood said something very different.

Jeff Atwood has discussed this subject fairly extensively, and it does matter to a lot of people, which helps make SO more successful than it would otherwise be.

But that's the decision that Atwood & co.

Jeff Atwood lacked cognizance of the risks and made an incredibly poor technical and business decision in failing to validate correctness of his backups and implement a suitable recovery strategy.

This guy hits it right on the nose: jeff atwood: "any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

A few years back I was fed up with the "SO police" and asked Jeff Atwood to close the account for me.

Strange to see famous bloggers (Jeff Atwood) "IRL".

"Let’s stop asking people if they’re doing backups, and start asking if they’re doing restores." No, because restores wouldn't have helped Jeff Atwood.

Downtime on a blog is not that big a deal other than people like to hate on Jeff Atwood.

Atwood should have checked - but he was paying his host to do it.

I find it disturbing how many people decided to comment or up-vote on Joel-Atwood angle, or insult each other.
