Today, Jolla is facing an existential threat. Rearranging the deck chairs as the ship is sinking will not solve anything.
Ofc I'm kidding. Just made a joke at the general direction of jolla managment.

Presumably a reference to the childish argument that goes something like this:



...which completely fails to recognise that the "software development costs" are just staff costs and are pretty much fixed. There has been plenty of communication from Jolla about the cause of the delay, i.e. hardware issues and waiting for parts and/or for the factory to finish doing other "more important" orders etc.

I'd like to hear Dave explain how he thinks those problems could have been solved by having software engineers spend their time differently, because that's where the cost is. Having those engineers not working on tablet related software features wouldn't have helped get you the tablet any sooner.
Two words: Project Management.

Cut sw development in order to deliver the product. Basically, in bussniess you can't spend money you dont have even IF some counties, organztion and individuals seems to think so. If you collect money make sure to deliver or you are in trouble and get lecture by Dave999 in Some obscure thread @TMO.

Sw would be behind what we have today. Yes, But tablet would be out and Jolla would be free of customer/investor debt and could move more freely and could even launched a Sailfish OS campaign to collect money...

Damn, I'm good
