PHP: a fractal of bad design (fuzzy notepad)

well, Yes

release early, release often is the core of opensource programming.

It requires that the code be 'good enough' (even if barely) and that you update it at a sufficient velocity that competitors can't catch up.

note that 'good enough' will have different meanings for different people, so what is 'good enough' for one use-case may not be for others.
