[ros-dev] Interesting article

[Aleksey Bragin]

FYI:

This is Linus' interview. http://h30565.www3.hp.com/t5/Feature- 
Articles/Linus-Torvalds-s-Lessons-on-Software-Development-Management/ 
ba-p/440

He very correctly outlines many things. One of the most important:
"The other thing—and it's kind of related—that people seem to get  
wrong is to think that the code they write is what matters. No, even  
if you wrote 100% of the code, and even if you are the best  
programmer in the world and will never need any help with the project  
at all, the thing that really matters is the users of the code. The  
code itself is unimportant; the project is only as useful as people  
actually find it.”

And this:
"Way too many projects seem to think that the code is more important  
than the user, and they break things left and right, and they don't  
apologize for it, because they feel that they are ‘fixing’ the code  
and doing the right thing.”


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
