I remember using Gnutella back in the day. It was horribly buggy and slow. Maybe Frankel didn't write that one or maybe being satisfying things half-working was the secret to x100 productivity.

I used Gnutella too. It was horribly buggy and slow. However, remember that they wrote it in a weekend, and what it was attempting to do really was pretty revolutionary.

Even brilliant programmers can only accomplish so much in a weekend.
