He then moved with his family to Jerusalem, Israel, where he attended high school and completed his military service as a paratrooper.〔 He was one of the founders of the kibbutz Hanaton in Lower Galilee. In 1987, he returned to the United States to attend college. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania for a year before transferring to Yale University, where he was a member of Pierson College and graduated in 1991 with a BS summa cum laude in Computer Science.〔 Spolsky started working at Microsoft in 1991 as a Program Manager on the Microsoft Excel team, where he designed Excel Basic and drove Microsoft's Visual Basic for Applications strategy. He moved to New York City in 1995 where he worked for Viacom and Juno Online Services.〔 In 2000, he founded Fog Creek Software and created the ''Joel on Software'' blog.〔 ''Joel on Software'' was "one of the first blogs set up by a business owner". In 2005, Spolsky co-produced and appeared in Aardvark'd: 12 Weeks with Geeks, a documentary documenting Fog Creek's development of Project Aardvark, a remote assistance tool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joel Spolsky )〕 Spolsky also co-founded Stack Overflow, a question and answer community website for software developers, with Jeff Atwood.

He is the author of five books, including ''User Interface Design for Programmers'' and ''Smart and Gets Things Done''. He is also the creator of (The Joel Test ). Spolsky coined the term ''fix it twice'' for a process improvement method. It implies a quick, immediate solution for fixing an incident and a second, slower fix for preventing the same problem from occurring again by targeting the root cause. His use of the term ''Shlemiel the painter's algorithm'', referring to an algorithm that is not scalable due to performing too many redundant actions, was described by ''salon.coms Scott Rosenberg as an example of good writing "about their insular world in a way that wins the respect of their colleagues and the attention of outsiders."〔.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joel Spolsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
