An old publication more relevant now than ever - The Cathedral and the Bazaar. A comparison of software practices in the early 2000s with some retrospective to how great software is built.

I think much of the writing can be applied to today's federated content models.

In particular:

  • The Mail Must Get Through
  • Necessary Preconditions for the Bazaar Style
  • The Importance of Having Users

But also this for balance:

A Generation Lost In The Bazaar https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2349257

I honestly read this every year. There are some deep lessons there that are so important for software and product development in general. It gets better every time I read it.
