"A recent college graduate from Estonia may bring useful diversity to a team of experienced management consultants from the midwest..."
from http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/SortingResumes.html

I mean, what are the odds?

Joel's writings are full of references to CoT.

"In every port in the world you will find an Estonian." Hemingway. ;)

That said, the article is only one more bit of insight into the mind of Joel and Fog Creek that convinces me that I wouldn't want to work for them. (http://www.antyx.net/2006/08/joel-wants-you.html)

Oh, and if I ever become a management consultant, you have my permission to shoot me in the face.

I swear to God I won't forget.

As quite a few whites from the American midwest have Germanic/Scandanvian heritage, it wouldn't be bringing no genetic diversity to the table.
