But how much work the software does is not what makes it remarkable. What makes it remarkable is how well the software works. This software never crashes. It never needs to be re-booted. This software is bug-free. It is perfect, as perfect as human beings have achieved. Consider these stats : the last three versions of the program -- each 420,000 lines long-had just one error each. The last 11 versions of this software had a total of 17 errors. Commercial programs of equivalent complexity would have 5,000 errors.

Las ideas principales:

1. The product is only as good as the plan for the product.
2. The best teamwork is a healthy rivalry. (ie: Testers VS. Desarrolladores)
3. The database is the software base (ie: Documentar bugs, decisiones)
4. Don't just fix the mistakes -- fix whatever permitted the mistake in the first place
