""Real artists ship. For everyone else, there is wanking."
Folks, For the record, while I acknowledge a kernel of truth in this, I find the statement so elitist and dismissive of the varied efforts that it takes to make things work that I cringe every time I hear it. Discussion, conferences, standards, coordination, etc all play an important role in making a software ecosystem useful. If there is a lesson, it may be that these other things shouldn't become so all consuming that they prevent actually producing useful software. Needless to say, by the standard of this statement I'm a wanker for bothering to point this out, and you folks are all wankers for repeating SteveC's bon mot.
