I wish more developers would work on this, making sure their product works straight out of the box. Lots of software requires setting up additional things like Redis, an SQL server, Docker, a proxy server, etc... All those things are in most cases unnecessary. I understand that for high load scenarios they are needed but for small time setups it's just overkill. Make it run with sane defaults and when the time comes to scale up, then those other things can be added.


That's a bit like saying "I wish more musicians would write hits more often." Talent and luck is the bottleneck as much as good taste. Certainly its not developer ignorance about what good software feels like.
