That's the market that really made Qt. Nokia sure as Hell didn't. The 
market was pursued.

What I'm seeing as a traveling consultant dealing with many medical 
device manufacturers is wholesale abandonment.

As everybody has learned during the Trump years, stock prices have no 
correlation with reality as long as the government is handing near zero 
dollar interest money to the brokerage firms and banks. Right now it is 
the world's largest Pump & Dump market.

You forget that I did two tours of duty writing trading floor systems 
for a major stock exchange.

The book was professionally edited. I put the page together with far 
less thought than I put into a post on here. You think it is a run-on 
sentence, so what? The book still sells and I've done very little 
marketing. Other than the occasional mention when answering a question 
for free, none really.

When the justification for letting 12 year old bugs exist in the bug 
database is:

that the code was too complex or that fixing the old bug would create 
new bugs

The code had just as much review before check-in as the page that you 
looked at.
