Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 157 Stack Exchange communities.

What is meta?
Here's how it works:
  1. Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
  2. The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
  3. Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates

Is there a mechanism for readers of Joel's articles to comment on them?

How is this relevant to meta? – alex Dec 14 '09 at 9:21
    
Well, Joel's the co-founder. – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 9:24
    
Then why not ask on his site? – random Dec 14 '09 at 9:31

If I could I would. Hence the question. – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 9:32

So apparently you can't comment on the blog posts. There's your answer. – random Dec 14 '09 at 9:40
    
Apparently. Hardly conclusive. – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 9:43

Have you tried asking on HackerNews or reddit.com/r/programming ? – random Dec 14 '09 at 9:51

This is why Joel doesn't like blog comments: joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/07/20.html – Dan Dyer Dec 14 '09 at 12:09
    
Ah, thanks Dan. Finally a useful response. – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 12:24
    
discuss.joelonsoftware.com is the usual place for this. – Ether Dec 14 '09 at 16:14

Yes, there is a mechanism. It's called blogging.

Post your reply on your own blog and link to Joel's. Or you could use reddit.

If Joel has a dog and this dog has a blog and you are not able to comment Joel's dog's blog, then please, feel free to spoil this place again!

Errm, and posting a question about "Post Your Boat Programming Pics!" is more relevant? – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 10:01

@Alex That's why the question you cite is closed. – random Dec 14 '09 at 10:26
    
No it's not! meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8479/… – Alex Budovski Dec 14 '09 at 10:32

Oh, that one. That's because it's about the boat programming post that was posted on SO. And because it's a legendary post. – random Dec 14 '09 at 10:35

There was a discussion in one of the early podcasts that Joel does not support commenting, while Jeff loves feedback from the community. Which does not make this a more fitting place for this question anyway.

Which is ironic, because Jeff is the one who never listens to other people. – Paul Tomblin Dec 14 '09 at 12:29
