- InclinedPlane 16y agoHurd/Linux and Xanadu/WWW are classic examples of worse is better, minimum viable products, and perfection being an enemy of goodness.

Shipping is always a feature, and sometimes perfection at the cost of depriving the world of goodness is just the vice of excessive pride dressed up in other clothes.
