Why is it ethical to ship a low quality product to generation one customers? I think you're breaching ethics anytime you aren't providing a decent quality of product.
Some products are a great fit for releasing something quick and fixing it later, like a free website. Other products, especially physical goods (car parts, medical equipment, etc) this is obviously a terrible strategy.
- ethbro 9y agoBecause, from the article, you never know you're shipping a low quality product at the time you ship it. Failure modes are complicated. It's not as simple as "Ah, this thing will obviously fall apart in a few months."
- ImSkeptical 9y agoI have no problem with how the guy in the article did it. He thought he had a good cement formula, shipped it, discovered he didn't, fixed it. I do have a problem if people intend to ship a defective product and fix it later (in some circumstances).
