Maintaining a consistent platform also helps improve product support - a significant problem in the software industry.

One of the biggest problems that software developers face is that technology changes rapidly. It is very hard to stay current.

Software as an asset isn't stable over time; it needs to be maintained.

Corporations have been killing the risk-taking and exploration that makes software great. They have tried to rip the soul out of development.

Things have a way of being richer in the end, a product better made, for the circuitous route we take to include all the elements that are necessary for a job well done.

My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy.

There is a constant need for new systems and new software.

In short, software is eating the world.

Most of the effort in the software business goes into the maintenance of code that already exists.

One of the problems with computers, particularly for the older people, is they were befuddled by them, and the computers have gotten better. They have gotten easier to use. They have gotten less expensive. The software interfaces have made things a lot more accessible.
