By now, I know, any software developer reading this volume has likely thrown it across the room in despair, thinking, “Stop the madness! They’re making every mistake in the book!” A good number of those programmers, I imagine, are also thinking, “I’d never do that. I’d do better.” A handful of them might even be right. After a year of sitting in on OSAF’s work, I, too, found myself wondering, “When are they going to get going? How long are they going to take? What’s the holdup?” Software time’s entropic drag had kicked in, and nothing seemed able to accelerate it.
Kapor is to blame!
