Eat your own bugs!

Bjarne Stroustrup, the author of C++ says:

…People reward developers who deliver software that is cheap, buggy, and first. That’s because people want fancy new gadgets now. They don’t want inconvenience, don’t want to learn new ways of interacting with their computers, don’t want delays in delivery, and don’t want to pay extra for quality. And without real changes in user behavior, software suppliers are unlikely to change.

So the quality of software produced by the developer is hurt with the demanding timeline and requirements. Users, eat your own bugs!

User Experience Age

Extreme-featured, all-in-one application are doomed. This is the new age of Software Development, User Experience

10 fundamental rules for the age of user experience technology:

  1. More features isn’t better, it’s worse.
  2. You can’t make things easier by adding to them.
  3. Confusion is the ultimate deal-breaker.
  4. Style matters
  5. Only features that provide a good user experience will be used.
  6. Any feature that requires learning will only be adopted by a small fraction of users.
  7. Unused features are not only useless, they can slow you down and diminish ease of use.
  8. Users do not want to think about technology: what really counts is what it does for them.
  9. Forget about the killer feature. Welcome to the age of the killer user-experience.
  10. Less is difficult, that’s why less is more.
