The saddest “Just Ship It” story
&quot;just ship it&quot; is just as dumb as &quot;never ship it&quot;. Why are people so prone to these oversimplified polarazations?<p>Also, if I learned anything over the last few decades it is that the market supports many solutions to the same problem. Why do software developers believe that if someone gets there first that&#x27;s it it&#x27;s done? Someone invented and sells a toaster? Done. Someone started selling bikes? Better ditch my step design. Cars? Just one brand, obviously.<p>People release apps into oversaturated markets every day. Most fail, some do well, and not because they were better in every way than the competition, just because they were different, they were tried, and some people found them to be &#x27;Good Enough&#x27;.
