Re: The Slow Formation of Durable Software

For folks who are wondering:

This post is about Zotero.
https://www.zotero.org/

If you are not an academic, you might not know Zotero.

It is such a pleasure to use. Every app should be like this.

I read everything in it, including books I'm going through right now from https://teachyourselfcs.com/

It also does an amazing job of taking snapshots of posts. I use it all the time to grab posts from HackerNews so I can mark them up.

And it automagically syncs everywhere across devices and lets me store way too many files on the web like the ADD packrat I am, without breaking a sweat.

In short, this software just works, and it works well.
So when somebody behind Zotero talks about how to develop software, I listen.

And it's a fun post with some history. You should save this post to Zotero, and then read it.
