I'd been meaning to blog this article from the MIT Technology Review magazine which describes why software is so bloated and buggy for awhile now. Among other things, they quoted my buddy Dan Wallach. Unfortunately, it seems they've gone to a subscriber-only policy since the last time I linked to them, so all I can do is tell you to find a print copy if you can.

I was also going to point to this Simson Garfinkel column, which helped spur me along the path of getting my own domain, but it too is only open to subscribers. Guess you'll have to take my word for it.
