Abstract
In the book Rework, 37Signals founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier describe their practice of killing a feature every once in a while in order to keep the product more simple and usable. Even if a small percentage of users miss the feature, the broad majority will have a better product—more features does not imply more quality, and of course the product is faster, easier to maintain, has fewer bugs, and it’s easier to refactor and redesign.
