Yeah Phil, my wife decided it was way to geeky for her. She was also looking at me with this strange look when I started the movie over with the English subtitles. I thought there was a joke there where the subtitles were going to translate some of the geek speak. This way she could have understood some of it {g}.

I watched that movie last night too. My wife only lasted about 30 minutes but I thought it was great. I, like you, enjoy seeing how other developers operate their shops. Those guys truly are geeks. We’re just getting started with Fogbugz, so it was also good to see the guys behind it.

Don’t expect to see a lot of technology discussed, although I was watering at the mouth each time I saw their duel LCD monitors. This movie is more about the geeks and how they worked together as a team, their failures and successes, and some lessons learned.

I see part of project Aardvark involved creating a “socket” server. Very cool. I’m going to have to check this movie out.
