Present at the Creation It was early 1991 and Apple’s software development team was hard at work on QuickTime , the first multimedia framework for a computer. But Apple had planned to announce and demo QuickTime without a way to get video into the Mac. Up until that moment Quicktime had been an abstract software concept to me.

If you just need a demo to work to show investors or you’re pivoting what you’re building every week, adding lots of tests provides very little value for how much it slows you down. The evolution is logical but is also more reactive than is typically good for the company.

You may get a software engineer to start something for you, but they wont stick with the project when it gets difficult.

This literally the dumbest, most ignorant piece that I’ve ever read about software development and/or hiring programmers.

I do disagree about two other points: First, this isn't the "quora rockstar engineer" perspective. It's my perspective as well and I'm not a software engineer let alone a rockstar. I am talking about self-appointed 10x egostars, not real solid software engineers. It is at best a feature.
