Rupert in the scene

A picture of Rupert, a puppet, in the Code Monkey at Work video

After the success of “Code Monkey at Work”, where Rupert was the young hero of the movie, Rupert was invited to participate in a cameo of “Aardvark'd: 12 weeks with geeks”, a documentary film (idea of Joel Spolsky) of the whole process to build copilot (the simplest way to use VNC trhought a reflector; full of features with a simple user interface, and a better name).

I just received my copy on Saturday 10 and I watched it the same afternoon. Interesting, even if you agree or not of what Joel usually writes about software development.

Anyway, I thought Fog Creek was bigger than I realized it is; and I was not expecting their concerns about risks in their first days (probably the same happened for Ximian, Fluendo and other related companies).

A keynote of Joel Spolsky could be very interesting indeed. Or have a short documentary of our community (we have the chance at GUADEC, Boston Summit, and so on).
