to.<br />but i do think we need to normalize saying a software is complete more often.<br />what i mean by complete? that it will not get more features and will only get security updates and at a slowed down pace.<br />the "move fast and break things" did much more damage to to software engineering than we are comfortable admitting. i don't agree with their main points, but I empathize with
