” A high level of quality in software is not important unless you're entering an already well-served market. I wish it was.”

I’d say better way to say the same thing would be ”Unless you are building something truly innovative and unique that people must use anyway no matter how bad the experience is, software quality matters.”

The thing is, 90% of software is “unique”, in the sense that it solves a specific business requirement

I guess it depends how you look at it, but regarding my point it isn’t.

For example most ecom apps/sites are surely ”unique” based on how you described it, but customers have nearly unlimited options/alternatives these days.

I was referring to enterprise internal or b2b software
