cottage industry code

The pool of resources attached to software is too much.

It applies a sort of pressure that produces less that ideal outcomes, mostly geared towards making those resources back.

I subscribe to the idea of “cottage industry code”. Small scale pieces of software, maybe on a single server located near you that a small community can use.

No ambition to go “unicorn”, no expectations of global scale, no complicated set-ups.

Low investment software that sells a solution to a real problem, and not just the potential to solve something.

Name for a small family owned business?
