Thought of the day: Enterprise
Am I the only one who thinks that “enterprise” when used in conjunction with software can mean any and all of the following:
- expensive
- complicated
- user un-friendly
- maintenance nightmare
- developer un-friendly (third-party and originating developers alike)
Maybe I’ve been using Linux/BSD and OS X for too long, but I want cheap, simple, user-friendly apps, that I and other developers can string together to create powerful domain-specific tools.
So the next time someone asks if a piece of software is “enterprise,” ask yourself: Is that a good thing?
