[9 Lessons from Eric S. Raymond]

[scratch]

1. Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer’s personal itch.

[remix]

2. Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and

reuse).

3. If you have the right attitude, interesting problems will find you.

[attitude]

4. Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid

improvement.

[co-developers]

5. If you treat your beta-testers as if they’re your most valuable resource, they will

respond by becoming your most valuable resource.

[value beta-testers]

6. The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users.

Sometimes the latter is better.

[recognize user’s ideas]

7. Often, the most striking and innovative solutions come from realizing that your

concept of the problem was wrong.

[discovering you were wrong]

8. Any tool should be useful in the expected way, but a truly great tool lends itself to uses

you never expect.

[tool redefines]

9. To solve an interesting problem, start by finding a problem that is interesting to you.

[your quest is close at hand]
