TIB #1: Custom software is too expensive.
Sunday, June 18th, 2006A while back, I wrote about defining my TIBs. I’m still not done, but I’m going to randomly post a few from time-to-time. I don’t have them listed in any particular order, but here is TIB #1:
Custom software is too expensive.
There are many factors that eventually come together and make the world of custom software development more expensive than it should be. I believe this is because the majority of our focus in the field is primarily focused on technology solutions instead of business solutions. Sound software craftsmanship and business accumen can go hand-in-hand to create functional, beautiful, simple, and valuable software if we step back and question our assumptions on how software should be developed.
