Love him or loathe him, Joel Spolsky makes software-development-sense. I wish more people would read things like Picking a Ship Date or Set your Priorities. I'm sure Joel is a pragmatic guy, and though I have no idea if he chows on his own dogfood, I find that I sit here and nod and go "uh-huh" when I read him. He's right on.
Software needs to get done. It has to do things that are critical to the purpose, and it should do things that are helpful. It probably should not try to do much else unless it never needs to ship. And make sure it's what the people want—if that's possible. Amen, bruh-thuh.
