Frank Uncovers Excellence in Leadership

Coding Error Shuts Down PayPal

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

I think the most interesting sentence was right at the end of this article at computerworld:

But he noted that the upgrade problems are reminiscent of frustrating incidents he has experienced with eBay site changes that were touted as “improvements.”

This is not against eBay or PayPal but a rather more and more showing problem with software in general!

Development has to be done fast and cheap. Remember the quality triangle? Pick any two? Seems like its going more to be a pick none!

   Your site is a refreshing change from the majority of sites I have visited. When I first started visiting web sites I was excited by the potential of the internet as a resource and was very disappointed initially. You have restored my enthusiasm and I thank you for your efforts to share your insights and help the world become a better place.
   

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
