Boaz Shani From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Ssennoga Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 10:27 To: Uganda Linux User Group Subject: Re: [LUG] Lessons from managing linux Paul, I find this part interesting: "The other thing-and it's kind of related-that people seem to get wrong is to think that the code they write is what matters," says Torvalds. Most software development managers have seen this one. "No, even if you wrote 100% of the code, and even if you are the best programmer in the world and will never need any help with the project at all, the thing that really matters is the users of the code. The code itself is unimportant; <http://h30565.www3.hp.com/t5/Feature-Articles/6-Products-That-Became-Techno logy-Roadkill/ba-p/36> the project is only as useful as people actually find it." Which is why as much as i love all the apps competitions thrown around the continent, i take them with a pinch of salt. Fair enaf, am not as passionate about coding, but then again, i represent a good case of a tech user, waiting to get those apps into my hands to solve problems of life today - Imagine there was an app - user fed or otherwise - that wld tell us which roads to avoid on monday evenings, because of the hold ups there... Imagine there was an app - again user fed or otherwise - that wld tell us where the cheapest pump price is - or which forex had the best rate... Or one that wld link medical specialists -with patients - i wld love to get plugged in into a portal that says where which dentist will be. My ideas might be wild, and possibly even impossible - but there is a user looking to a coder, asking them to do somethin i can use! Here and Now. Today.
