Yeah these were my thoughts exactly when I read the article. Like sure, ok, most software works, but I don't think it's a waste of time or effort to strive for something beyond barely functional. It also only approaches this problem from the viewpoint of a developer. As a user of dozens and dozens of pieces of software daily, each with their own annoyances and weird behaviors that don't necessarily stop me from using it, that shit stacks up. I recently watched a bit of Triumph of the Nerds, and caught a snippet where Andy related a similar story to the camera: <https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Saving_Lives.txt https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...> 5 or 10 seconds at boot doesn't seem like a lot, but shit stacks up.
