I don't know what you are disagreeing with. Your thoughts are somewhat of a non-sequitur.

> The purpose of software for other people is not to make them go 'wow' ... The software is always in service to the job the user wants to get done. Can that make them go 'wow'? Sure, but you can't..aim for 'wow'. That's the wrong goal.

Did he say in his post that he's talking about software for other people? Is the only purpose of writing software to do so for others?
