Software choices
I have been asked in numerous occasions by clients or would-be-clients what exactly is the software they should be building. And most of the time the question revilves around demand and profits. Most want a 'quick and dirty' solution for a shareware that will be done within 3 months and start producing profits from day 0.
Understndably profits and choosing the right field in software is a big issue but it carries a lot less weight than the actual quality of the software itself. If you forget about the type and focus on quality and the ways that you can offer this to your customers then whatever the starting demand of the software you are bound to succeed.
Sounds to easy? Wrong... Quality is not easy. This is a lot harder than it sounds and a lot harder to implement than it is to agree that you will follow such a tactics. There are things that you will have to re-invent in yourself and your company on the way. And there are many mental obstacles which are not easy to overcome.
