	Worse Is Better
		The concept known as "worse is better" holds that in software making (and perhaps in other arenas as well) it is better to start with a minimal creation and grow it as needed.
		In the Winter of 1991-1992 I wrote an essay called "Worse Is Better Is Worse" under the name "Nickieben Bourbaki." This piece attacked worse is better.
		You might think that by the year 2000 I would have settled what I think of worse is better - after over a decade of thinking and speaking about it, through periods of clarity and periods of muck, and through periods of multi-mindedness on the issues.

	The Rise of ``Worse is Better''
		Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity in some cases, but it is better to drop those parts of the design that deal with less common circumstances than to introduce either implementational complexity or inconsistency.
		However, I believe that worse-is-better, even in its strawman form, has better survival characteristics than the-right-thing, and that the New Jersey approach when used for software is a better approach than the MIT approach.
		It is better to get half of the right thing available so that it spreads like a virus.

	Worse is better - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Worse is better, also called the New Jersey style, is the name of a computer software design approach (or design philosophy) in which simplicity of both interface and implementation is more important than any other system attribute (including correctness, consistency, and completeness).
		A section of the article, entitled "The Rise of 'Worse is Better'", was widely disseminated beginning in 1991.
		Consistency can be sacrificed for simplicity in some cases, but it is better to drop those parts of the design that deal with less common circumstances than to introduce either implementational complexity or inconsistency.

	For Better or For Worse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Better or For Worse (FBorFW) is a comic strip by Lynn Johnston that began in September 1979.
		Unusual for comic strips, the characters age in For Better or For Worse.
		In the past fifteen years, however, readers have taken a totally different view of the situations addressed in For Better or For Worse and many have said that Lynn Johnston's obvious strain to include minorities, controversial issues and her trying to be politically correct has eroded the characters and message of the comic strip.

		Most of the time they struggle and play worse than their handicaps, but every so often they both raise their games a few notches and play better than their handicaps.
		Believe it or not, the USGA Handicap Research Team has determined that his best score in 20 is normally only two strokes better than his handicap, or an 84; the probability of his recording an 83 twice in 20 rounds is only one in 50.
		A good way to think of the range of scores upon which your handicap is based is the old bell curve that schoolteachers always refer to when discussing the range of scores on an exam.

	For Better or For Worse
		If we are going to take a literal interpretation of this verse, we had better take literal interpretations of the rest of the code as well, obeying each of the 644 rules given by God to humankind.
		For example, Leviticus 19: 27 mandates: “You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard,” yet all the men present here today are guilty of disobeying that rule.
		I believe a better way to go is to call the service a marriage.

	For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston @ Comic Alert!
		Suddenly no one but the boring first love was good enough for Liz - I mean, Anthony asked her to wait for him to get out of his unhappy marriage only minutes after he ran off her would-be rapist.
		There are only pretentious characters who constantly cry "What about ME?" with contrived storylines that show how saintly the Patterson family is. Liz is never at fault in her relationships; her boyfriends always always ALWAYS cheat on her; in fact, all the Patterson kids' love interests cheat on them.
		I realize there are plenty of FBoFW fans who will be angry about this review, but they probably aren't as angry as I am that Lynn Johnston took her wonderful comic strip and ruined the very realism it is supposed to display.

	Worse is Better
		To some extent the problem is one of perception -- there are simply better Lisp delivery solutions than are generally believed to exist and to a disturbing extent the problem is one of unplaced or misplaced resources, of projects not undertaken, and of implementation strategies not activated.
		This isn't to say that a better Lisp could not be standardized later, and certainly there should be.
		What's worse is that in the particular application, the matrices were all fixed size, and matrix arithmetic would have been just as fast in Lisp as in FORTRAN.
