>> I am generally of the opinion that this general statement holds true: "Make a high quality work, make people who are interested aware of its existence somewhere during the last 10% of the work, and actually finish and deliver it... and it will succeed". The phrase "high quality work" is doing some heavy lifting there. All too often programmers read "code" instead of work, since that's thr important part right? But code is the least valuable least interesting, part of the work. In reality the work includes market analysis, solving an actual problem, funding, marketing, documenting training, sales, support, and perhaps some luck. Sure, do all that well and you'd likely be a success. But if you think it means "just code better", well github is full of good code that was ignored. This is not about "build a better mousetrap", its about having a mouse problem, and delivering that mouse trap to consumers who pay you money. |
