A Software Product Is an Omelette

Smile. Great mood is the secret ingredient to great software.

When you cook an omelette, using too few eggs, too much milk, or forgetting the salt can easily ruin it. The result? Inedible — and in the trash.

A software product has far more moving parts: hundreds across engineering alone — requirements, architecture, code, infrastructure, testing, security, scaling, and beyond. But just like an omelette, if you overuse, underuse, or skip even one ingredient, the entire product risks becoming a throwaway—landing in your user’s digital trash bin.

Is your software product a gamble on unknowns? Or, in contrast, is it sure to get every ingredient right? Your decision here isn't about launching sooner or later. It’s about whether you ever get the publicly demanded product at all — and whether it lives long enough to pay back at least the initial investment.

Get the ingredients right, and you'll serve something users appreciate. Need help? Reach out — I’ll gladly explain.
