🔗 Dave Winer: We Make Shitty Software
We know our software sucks. But it’s shipping! Next time we’ll do better, but even then it will be shitty. The only software that’s perfect is one you’re dreaming about. Real software crashes, loses data, is hard to learn and hard to use. But it’s a process. We’ll make it less shitty. Just watch!
It’s true. Speaking for myself, I too make shitty software. Probably have my entire career. It’s only today that I’ve internalised it. And it’s a hard thing to admit. How hard? Well, try four attempts at posting this declaration publicly.
