Skims on the painting part, I thought, but it makes for an interesting insight into the personal philosophy of someone who values both creativity and logic.
Many of his ideas are universal (probably why I'm here!). Others don't port so well (or are specific to his experience).
Well worth the OPs time, given the question.
Joel on Software is also a fantastic read. More concrete in talking about specific aspects of a software developers' working experience, and ideas towards technology in general.
A mentor of mine suggested I should read it alongside Hackers and Painters.
I can't thank him and his friends enough, frankly...
