At work, I always feel like Cassandra. I am warning of impending doom, but no one is listening to me. Am I crazy? Or am I visionary. It is hard to know.
My opinion of software is that one should always strive to release only the best possible version of software, even at the expense of being late to the market. If you release a crappy application before your competitor, but their application is better, you will have a ton of people switching off of your platform onto the other's, and the cost of re-acquisition is going to be way higher. If people would just stretch out their release dates and make it super easy to use, people would instead switch from the competition. I have seen this first hand, and I won't make the former mistake again.
