“Steven's blog, Hardcore Software, he published in book form. It's a thousand page book. It's like a textbook sitting on my desk. It's awesome.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: enterprise software tradeoffs
For: IT professionals and software developers
Key quote: “I think Steven Sanoski even writes about this in Hardcore Software in his book and on his Substack, that at some point, they were trying to ship features that the PMs thought were great and users would love.”
The host references 'Hardcore Software' to illustrate the challenges faced by software companies in balancing user demands with enterprise needs. The book highlights how corporate IT administrators often prioritize stability and backward compatibility over innovative features, which can stifle progress.
