I love wordpress. I've used it on many sites. This software isn't meant to be wordpress, it's meant as an alternative.
> All those tens of thousands of companies making money by adding new features that people want to software are not idiots. It's not that they have failed to ever consider Jasons theory. They have, and it does not make them money. People want features. People will pay for features.
I agree. But I also think many failed companies that you don't hear about, added feature after feature and never got the core right. Once you have the core right, by all means add features when it means more $$$. But don't fall victim to feature creep early.
> You want to believe that features are unimportant, simply because you don't have the time or resources to develop new edge features. People who actually sell software will tell you the exact opposite though - features and upgrades are what sell.
I think really I just failed too communicate clearly enough. I don't mean never add features. I just mean think harder about it. Humans are wired to feel good when you get something done. This (un)features tactic is a hack to prevent you from adding things without enough thought.
