Ivan, right on. In stage 4 you start getting all those “good problems”. But for the lead developer, it’s hard to see what’s so good about them. All he sees is the problems. Stage 4 is also when a smaller and smaller portion of the total goodness is coming to the lead developer…

That’s funny, because stage 4 is exactly when the product begins to become valuable.

That’s an interesting observation – I had the typical corporate setting in mind when I wrote this. The tendency to like building new things is behind both phenomena, it’s just that in the corporate world you have no choice. In volunteer projects, you can just drop out and do the next interesting thing. No need to become so grumpy: if you don’t like it anymore you just move on. And yes, it is a big problem in open source projects, especially the smaller ones.

Many programmers don’t know what they’re signing up for when they start work with a new product. They love the first part where they get to build the new things, and they aren’t maybe quite aware, or at least haven’t accepted, that the second and less exhilarating part is going to come and their role will change.

I think that’s one of the biggest problem with most Open Source software: everyone wants to implement new features and flashy things, but no one wants to spend time fixing bugs that doesn’t concern them directly.
