“The
Cathedral and the Bazaar”
Every good work of
software starts by scratching a developer's
personal itch.
When you lose interest
in a program, your last duty
to it is to hand it off to a competent successor.
Treating your users as
co-developers is your least-hassle
route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.
Release early. Release
often. And listen to your customers.
