Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood are my favorite technical bloggers hands down. They write clear, cogent, and frequently amusing posts that really get me thinking. They're so good, and so prominent in the community, that if an interviewee can't talk about their stuff I tend to grade them down. Hell, Jeff and Joel are largely responsible for the existance of this blog.

That's why I'm so glad to hear that they're working together on a new project, called StackOverflow.com. In short, stackoverflow.com will be a free and open community for developers to ask and answer questions. Per Jeff it'll be "sort of like the anti-experts-exchange (minus the nausea-inducing sleaze and quasi-legal search engine gaming) meets wikipedia meets programming reddit." Sounds like a great project, and should be really useful to the developer community.

So far all they have on the site is a podcast talking about the vision. I look forward to seeing what comes down the road.

Hrmm, I wonder if the site will be built  "in a proprietary language they created themselves"?
