Bill Venners: It seems like there's a culture of shipping that you value.

Erich Gamma: That's right. In software, having cool ideas is nice, but 
shipping them is what counts. For us it only counts if you have shipped 
the thing. That's really the mindset we have. And given that you focus 
on shipping, we never want to be in a mode of always being two years 
away from shipping. You need to have a short-term deliverable. You also 
plan, decide and act with this mindset. You are very risk- aware— you 
know what you can do so you can still ship on time with quality.

ideally, we can adopt this model after 1.4 ships.
