Why would anyone listen to this guy? I ran engineering at BitMover for
18 years, yeah, you need a bug tracker. If for no other reason than to
track the churn rate. HP-UX used that metric to decide when to land the
plane.
You need to realize that schedules are a rough idea, but you absolutely
need them, people work better towards a goal.
This guy sounds like he hasn't worked on anything other than small
user space programs.
