There's the other side, as everything in life.
Took part on a project that should be used nationwide (i.e., not costumers, but clients would have to use it). So much care was taken in consideration about some few users that didn't have reliable connection, could go offline for days, etc., that the project reached a dead end after some months.
Lesson learnt (for me, at least): sometimes you have to take care of 95% of your users first, developing as fast as possible so that they benefit, and then take care of those last 5% afterwards, even knowing that they will cost a lot, perhaps as much as the 95% users costed. Trying to solve slightly different problems with just one solution might escalate until becomes unpractical.
- bachmeier 10y agoPerhaps a reasonable thing if your 95%/5% split is correct. It is possible that you are extrapolating from the group you hang out with to the population at large. It certainly doesn't apply to my group.
