The Secret of Successful Code: Suck Less

I really liked the software in general, but man, the crashing sucked. I reported a bug about it, and the bug was ignored. I kept using it through 10 new releases, and it still crashed. The upgrades brought lots of new features, but I didn’t care about them. Remember, the feature set only mattered to me when I first picked the software. Now I just needed it to suck less.

But it never did.

[A]ll you have to do to succeed as a software project is to suck less with every release. It doesn’t matter how much competition you have…
