fix the foundation first.
No point in building a super efficient, well designed, and well executed application if the foundation on which it is written is not efficient, not well designed, not stable, or not well executed. Like Windows. Fix windows first.
Linux or Unix is a better foundation.

True to some extent, but...  Pebkac Charlie | 03/03/04
Yes, exactly  jorwell | 03/04/04
But isn't this up to the customers?  Mark Miller | 03/05/04
Only possible if the developers are in-house  jorwell | 03/05/04
Try prototyping  Richard Flude | 03/03/04
Customers Don't Know What They Want?  markdoiron | 03/05/04
Software not delivering ?  mbraincell@... | 03/03/04

I think that's very realistic  Mark Miller | 03/05/04

Hogwash, users can't define what they want.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 03/03/04
Users know what they want...  Anton Philidor | 03/03/04
Very, VERY rare.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 03/03/04
been there, done that  Grimm Reaper | 03/03/04
wrong-headed approach  norm917 | 03/03/04
but they can define what they don't want  JWatson77 | 03/07/04
Software bloat  Domb2 | 03/03/04
No, I don't.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 03/03/04
yep  JWatson77 | 03/07/04
Re: Software bloat  mbraincell@... | 03/03/04
wordpad  Domb2 | 03/03/04
But spell checking is a feature that causes bloat!  No_Ax_to_Grind | 03/03/04
bloat is : something included you don't need  JWatson77 | 03/07/04
Core machinecode  pj-xmesh | 03/03/04
The article is about designing software  jorwell | 03/03/04
Glorious delusion?  pj-xmesh | 03/03/04
Nothing to do with bloatware  jorwell | 03/04/04
How is Bloatware generated then  pj-xmesh | 03/04/04
Is Compuware losing it?  norm917 | 03/03/04
Hmmm, so there are no good programs or programmers then?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 03/03/04
Perhaps it is just that programmers are getting lazy and sloppy  B.O.F.H. | 03/04/04
You're right  pj-xmesh | 03/05/04
they just have to program fast  JWatson77 | 03/07/04
Deja vu  Mark Miller | 03/05/04
