Why the Economics of Open Source Software is so Important
,----[ Quote ]
| Now good software has always been written by good software developers
| without regard for how they share it. There is a discipline to
| developing good software involving inspection, source code
| management, build automation, test automation, and facilities
| to encourage discussion and decision making. We all know what
| we should do to develop good software, but good software
| developers know of no other way.
