The quality of the software is what matters.
You should be working with a small number of
smart customers that accept running the product
before it released to give you feedback.
By the time you ship the official first version it should be rock solid and you should have testimonials from customers that have been using it in production for some time.
We show customers something as soon as it is wiggling. They tell us what is wrong with it and we loop until we have something useful and they
start asking "when can I have it?" or better yet "give it to me now, I don't care if it is not "production."
When we have something we believe is solid,
we start charging money for it.
I bet your product managers also want to ship it
before it is solid.
Quote from Nobel's will "The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Considering that you will pay taxes on
money you make moonlighting, working
on the house yourself may make more
economic sense.
As others point out, it isn't that
hard.
Also dealing with construction
contractors can be extremely annoying.
They can make technical people seem
humble, modest, and considerate by
comparison.
The payload capacity of the space shuttle
was determined by Air Force requirements.
I'm sure the payload capacity of Ares V
is determined by Air Force requirements.

And McCain's age has to be considered. The odds of his not

It is illegal for a company to take away accrued vacation time. Complain to the labor relations board and sue them.
