This reads like a list of decent but non critical enhancements to many programs. The funny thing is, myself and most programmers I know love working on things like this but most of the time it is not the programmer who is calling the shots on what his time should be spent on.
It's the customer who doesn't want to spend money or the product owner who needs to be mindful of the budget spend.
So a better title would be: 'things end users would really enjoy but don't actually feel is worth spending money on'. Because if those users would actually think these are valuable things, they would pay for them and you bet that programmers will implement them. They are also users and fairly nitpicky ones.
- chrismcb 7y agoThis reads like a list of decent enhancement that separates a good program from a great one. Some of them are really hard, but many are just the spit and polish that makes a good program a great one.
