- MattPalmer1086 7y agoThat is a lovely way of putting it. The unfortunate flip side is that everyone else forgets about it too, and one day there's no one left who understands it any more. I came to the conclusion that software which just works invisibly can have a shorter useful life than software that demands some attention every now and again. So don't make your software invisible!
