I read The Colour of Magic first and then I went looking for the order to read the series in. Sometimes I do prefer chronological order depending on the series. But in this case, I did find some version of the chart and a number of people saying to read in published order. So I've been reading in published order and after doing so for long enough, I agree that that is the optimal order as missing some of the in-jokes and some of what came before is a big deal.
