As Someone Who Works In Software

I quite enjoyed this short article on Halo 2's creators slamming the quality of the product in no uncertain terms. I consider it refreshing to see that kind of brutal honesty since I know how much pressure there always is, in the software industry, to put a brave face on whatever gets released. I've often taken flak, in various jobs, for arguing that software isn't ready until it's ready, regardless of the date on the calendar - and product people, it turns out, don't really like that notion! I appreciate seeing others express the same frustration on such a high profile property.
