Another obvious lesson to take from this is that it is sometimes better to release something imperfect and improve upon it, rather than wait for the perfect product, because by then you may be irrelevant.
The downside to this is lack of agility due to trying to maintain backwards compatibility, and being bogged down by support.
- jhrobert 16y agoThat's a difficult question. To solve it I "crowd sourced it", i.e. I have a UserVoice feedback buttons with 2 ideas: 1/Stay in Alpha 2/Go Beta. So far... I need to stay in Alpha... :(
- zeemonkee 16y agoThat's very true. A project I'm working on at the moment has some of the worst code I've seen. Copy and paste crap everywhere. No understanding of good programming practices or web design. A mountain of technical debt. Yet, the company is doing well, making money, hiring people and expanding quickly. Had they waited until their skills were good enough, or spent a fortune on experienced developers, they would not be where they are today - with a heap of technical issues sure, but also with the money to throw at these issues.
