That has some really insightful advice and even something I hadn't considered. They mentioned that with enough users, even bugs become features that are used. People rely on the way a system works, whether it was intentional or not and maintenance could mean disruption.

I am not a dev but I am in IT and think quite a few of these ideas could be applied outside of code.
