Software quality comes from consistently fixing small problems and locking in improvements through tests and processes, not from occasional big wins. Most organizations skip this work, which causes quality to erode back to mediocrity.
- Excellence in software requires hundreds of small polishes and bug fixes fitted together consistently, not individual heroic efforts or major features.
- Bug fixes should take priority over new features because without them, software quality inevitably degrades to a 7/10 level—things like tooltips, performance, and edge cases break and stay broken.
- Organizations need processes (tests, code review, shorter feedback loops, high coding standards) that lock in improvements so quality gains don't disappear over time.
