Hack-it, ship-it, forget-it ...

Hack-it, ship-it, forget-it ... is a race to the bottom where cost is the only thing that matters.

The initial delivery is what your customer gets -- forever.

These types of products only depreciate.

And cannot be maintained.

Alternatively, the value of your product can increase over time.

Where you fix problems quickly.

And add features in a timely fashion as needs/markets change.

Where you overcome the laws of chaos and improve instead of decay.

Because you own YOUR Platform.

Which business do you want to be in?
