A portion of “product-market fit” failures are actually software quality failures. I think it’s easy to blame the ensh*ttification of software on corporate incompetence, but I think “minimally viable” is part of the story as well.
The world we have now where everything is built to be thrown away, including software, has had the side-effect of destroying craftsmanship. And I'm becoming more convinced as I age that the world is poorer for it.
- cyanwave 2y agoHard agree with the last sentence. We’re capable of greatness, im optimistic for new generation products. Not all humans are bad. Cycles and such

And I'm becoming more convinced as I age that the world is poorer for it. Not every area in the software market is like this. For example, in ERP software often applications from the 90ies are still in use (maybe revamped, maybe not) by many customers. And the maintenance periods are measured in decades (typically not initially, but there always seems to be a maintenance extension).
