In case you didn’t know, the dark ages of a software project usually occur when that project is between 90% and 95% done … when that software is field tested. Thats when an an uncomfortable reality sets in, that they’re only about 50% to 55% done. This period of time in a products development is sometimes referred to as crunch time; or which is most often the case, it is simply not referred to at all … all reference and record of this period in time are expunged from company documents and from the minds of loyal employees by way of water-boarding, and mentioning those tough times during a company picnic is grounds for termination, Schwarzenegger style.
However, we’ve decided to adopt a more enlightened stance on all of our recent troubles, we have decided to embrace our dark ages and let you know that building a kick-ass eCommerce system like CrystalCommerce is NOT an easy task. Needless to say, we’ve survived, we’ve learned, and we’ve continued to innovate; and that tenacity is exactly what you expect from a company your business relies upon as the cornerstone of its online success story.
A wise man once said [No, I don't know who so don't ask] “Nothing worth doing is ever easy. If it’s easy, then it’s not worth doing. Worthwhile things always takes time and effort.”
