The Rise of "Worse is Better"
Yes, that's pretty good, thanks. He makes two points:I believe that worse-is-better, even in its strawman form, has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing, and that the New Jersey approach when used for software is a better approach than the MIT approach.
He supports the first point well, but I don't see the values by which he makes the second claim. Is market dominance the measuring rod of quality?
