Worse IS betterEverything else is perfectionism loop and eternal 0.0.1a software
>>108092870Just don't make it then, there's already good software out there
>>108092870Your pic has nothing to do with your post.
>>108092870It's the other way around. Real software gets released and people use it right away. Worse is better is always in the perpetual "I'll do it right eventually" and 50 years later it's never fixed, like null-terminated strings, EINTR, and /usr/bin.
>>108092870>worse is betterNijinigs still not sending their best, even outside of /vt.
>>108094002>Real software gets released and people use it right awayLike UNIX>in the perpetual "I'll do it right eventually" and 50 years later it's never fixedLike Lisp or GNU/Hurd
>>108094711>Like UNIXNo, like normal operating systems like CP/M, DOS, VMS, OS/360, Windows, and Macintosh. It took at least 10 years before anyone outside Bell Labs used UNIX, and UNIX didn't have any of the features it has now. All of those features were added by other people to fill holes in the UNIX design (or lack of design). "Worse is Better" only caught on with UNIX because shills were able to get the entire computer industry and all the universities to fall for the shilling and contribute to UNIX. If Dennis Ritchie and the rest of the Bell Labs guys (and trannies) had to do everything themselves, it would have gone nowhere.>Like Lisp or GNU/HurdGNU/Hurd is a UNIX system, so it follows the Worse is Better philosophy. Lisp was being used as soon as it came out, and Lisp machines were used in real software development.
>>108095970All those "normal operating systems" shipped with minimal features, DOS had to be rebooted due to memory fragmentation, a single program at a time, no overengineering around and that's the point. UNIX shipped early and gained wide adoption as well, C became the standard language for being so simpleI'm not sure where you are coming from with this random hate against UNIX, but it's very nonsensical and unrelated to the thread.

>>108096025>All those "normal operating systems" shipped with minimal featuresBut they don't follow the Worse is Better philosophy. Worse is Better is about how the system is designed, not about features.>UNIX shipped early and gained wide adoption as well,10 years after it was created isn't "early." Most operating systems were designed to be shipped as part of a computer system. UNIX was a toy OS for tinker trannies.>C became the standard language for being so simpleC became the standard language about 30 years after it was made.>I'm not sure where you are coming from with this random hate against UNIX, but it's very nonsensical and unrelated to the thread."Worse is Better" is a term coined to describe UNIX systems.
>>108096090Worse is Better philosophy is academic, while the other systems were commercialUNIX received wide adoption for being simple to port even if it's full of things people cry about like null-terminated strings, EINTR, and /usr/binDOS also received wide adoption despite lots of issues that more overengineered systems didn't haveI really don't care about your hate specific to UNIX, the point is that crying about features not being "correct" when they are practical enough is retarded
