Yeah, I think the truly smart man releases something crappy FIRST before anyone
else gets out of the gate, but has a plan to improve it, so the "crappy" thing
actually is very smart because it doesn't "hem in" the future. (ie the design
decisions made in it allow the step by step shifting to wherever the vision is
directed). So long as there's a vision... And by crappy, really I mean basic as
in... doesn't do much... or put another way "does just enough" to get the job
done.
"Release early, release often".
