A good description of how if software engineering was setup for speed of iteration we would have entirely different environments than we have now. Nobody is really opposed to speed, but nobody really wants it either so we end up with bloated development and bloated results that are the worst of all compromises.

Congratulations to That Browser Company on what must be a stellar exit for them.

This may sound harsh, but it’s a lot fairer than they deserve: “But since the product is no longer jumping exponentially in capabilities, they will need to fall back on proper product development if they want to be competitive. They need to accept that they are software—plain old software—and that means people need to be able to use it.”
