A couple days ago I read an interesting quote over at the DesignADay blog. The quote “Broken gets fixed shoddy lasts forever” is so true. To often there is too much work trying to get pushed through too small a pipeline causing corners to be cut and quality to be sacrificed.
When something goes wrong and breaks it gets fixed. However if it is working, not matter how poorly, chances are that it will get not get corrected and the problem can go on forever.
This quote served as the inspiration for the newest iPhone Wallpaper, Shoddy Last Forever.
