    The danger here is that many people think that software is all about having code that seems to work when you try it. Those people have never been able to get past “Hello, World” in X for Dummies, so they don’t realize all the practical realities of software distribution that are very much more nuanced and complicated than just writing the code. They get their hands on some working code and wheeeee!!! Ship it!!!
