Warren Buffett and the Software Industry

While looking into some bugs today, I was reminded of a quote by Warren Buffett: "When a management team with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact."

When you're building software on top of a platform of buggy software, no matter how perfect your software is, the underlying bugs will still remain and the reputation of your software will suffer for them.
