Re: Good software takes 10 years

Thats cool. Sometimes it's hard to tell. It's not like you can ask
"Hey guys, can I post about this nifty XYZ article I found? If you say
no, I won't. I promise. Whoops, too late."

So far as I've seen, things you've posted have been relevant. That
article was about larger software projects and their maturement times.
PostgreSQL *is* a larger software project. Bingo, it fits.

:)

Regards and best wishes,
