Wise words from a software developer:

Every time I’ve ever done a prototype it is invariably shipped as product minutes later. Naturally disaster follows.

What you say: “I have a working prototype.”

What management hears: blah blah WORKING blah.

Moral: Never say you have anything “working” until you’re really done.

All of my three or four loyal readers have been clamoring for me to add comments to this blog, and I finally caved to the peer pressure. Click the little paper-and-pencil icon in the top bar to post a comment.

Right now it’s wide open– no CAPTCHAs, no approval process, none of that other annoying anti-spam stuff. It’ll be interesting to see if I get obscene comments or if the spambots find me and start posting fun stuff about Russian girls on web cams…
