  • Demoable and usable are radically different quality thresholds.
    • The work to get from nothing to demoable is an order of magnitude less than to get from demoable to usable.
    • This is one reason there's the 80/20 rule for software development.
      • When it feels like you're 80% of the way there, you're 20% of the way there.
    • Demoable is about superficial quality.
    • Usable is about fundamental quality.
