I think this is the most concise reply on Joel's this post. Terminology matters a lot. Its a shared vocabulary. Moment we just call a term; it pulls all the baggage with it. This makes life very easy; but at the same time prone to confusion if used incorrectly. I completely agree. I think this is the most concise reply on Joel’s this post.

I understand the point he was conveying but he probably could have done it without references to the term duct tape programmers.
