The only software that's finished is software that's dead. No one's job is more interminable than that of the author of successful software.
I know - didn't you notice the '"'?
It sounded like you thought that was a bad thing.
Mixed feelings. I want no bugs, and I want new features. Therefore, I would prefer bugs being cleared before commencing work on new features... at least, having left only negligible bugs that do not impede working with the affected program. IMO, I consider a program to be finished when it has no bugs left. Adding new features is like a new project. I know programmers never consider a program finished. I programmed for a living, so I know that... but that is not necesarily a good thing. Are houses ever finished? They are, but they are also periodically improved and enhanced and modified. You know, programming is the only profession where errors are called bugs and accepted as normal. So a bridge collapsing is normal, too? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
