    "Does the company's website work without JavaScript" -- that's ridiculous question to ask in 2011, when AJAX is the way do develop web applications. "is it only IE-compatible" - that's also ridiculous to ask, when IE has only 30% of the market, and Firefox is the leading browser. Commented Apr 26, 2011 at 16:27

    @vartec You'd be surprised. Commented Apr 26, 2011 at 17:45

    @vartec: building something that only works properly in IE would indeed be ridiculous in 2011. But then, so would developing without source control, and I don't see anyone saying that it's silly to have that on the Joel Test still. Companies do ridiculous things, sometimes.

    I don't know if the company's website is representative of the work they do for clients. In most of the places I have worked at, the company website was neglected for long periods of time. It was the lowest priority project. Commented Jun 4, 2012 at 15:13

    Anyway, whole thing is not really related to the topic. Joel's test is a measure of quality of development process, not measure of the quality of the product. Commented Jun 4, 2012 at 20:46
