Because of the current business models in software, we end up with very crappy software that we donāt really understand how it works, argues Warnier.
The current business model is ārelease first and bash laterā. So first make sure that youāre the first to market and then you sent out updates on and on and eventually you get something that works, or maybe not. That is what Microsoft is doing. And there is no real demand by users for reliable software. Maybe in niche markets, if you want to assemble a rocket you do not want it to explode because a computer divided by ā0ā does not work or so. But thereās no real market for it; that is why it is not happening. Many side effects happen as a result of this. For example users get frustrated when the hard disc fails or the operating system crashes and they have to reboot and loose half a days of work.
