I like when apps are "finished"

4 months ago

The author advocates for normalizing the idea of software being 'finished' rather than continuously updated.
Many apps are functional as they are and don't need constant updates, but users often mistake lack of updates for abandonment.
Open-source projects are particularly susceptible to being labeled 'unmaintained' if they haven't had recent commits, even if they work perfectly.
The author contrasts software with art, arguing that most software is utilitarian and doesn't need endless refinement.
The post suggests that the tech industry should embrace more 'finished' apps and move away from subscription models.
