Hmm. I thought it was a fairly interesting (altho not astonishing) 
discussion of value versus code.  Far too many programmers think of 
programming outside the structures of business, capitalism, and so on. 
Not that that's bad, but it's bad if you're trying to be a professional 
programmer.  That's one of the reason Joel's articles are popular, while 
also having a vocal group of detractors - it depends on whether you look 
at programming abstractly or in relationship to your other goals.
