  I think there always needs to be a distinction between "underdeveloped and unfinished" and "broken and insecure". I don't care if v0.1 is still lacking features and the GUI is wonky. I'm usually fine with this being called "good enough". I care a lot if v0.1 crashes on launch, half the features in the release notes don't work (or even exist), and it leaks my passwords as plaintext. As a user this is never "good enough". In most conversations those both get lumped together in the move-fast-and-break-things mindset. Though to be fair, the original article is largely talking about the former.

    The article may be talking about the former, but plenty of people will read it as the latter. (Though perhaps not to that extreme.) I would certainly consider a well designed but feature incomplete product as perfect and good enough. Chasing perfection doesn't mean being everything to everyone. It simply means doing the best job possible.

  How do you know they didn't think it was perfect and needed no improvement?
