In his latest post, Joel explains how creating great software involves finding, and fixing, the tens of thousands of tiny things that should be better. The unfortunate side effect he describes is familiar to all who know me: “It takes a mindset of constant criticism to find them. You have to reshape your mind until you’re finding fault with everything. Your significant others go nuts. Your family wants to kill you.”
As an example (as if one were needed), just yesterday I was ranting to Casey about the Ikea website. Take a moment to visit it, and see if you can guess what drove me mad about it.
I’ll give a clue. It’s in this list:
- Norge (Norway)
- Österreich (Austria)
- Россия (Russia)
- Polska (Poland)
- Portugal (Portugal)
- România (Romania)
- Schweiz | Suisse | Svizzera (Switzerland)
