The Firefox community is kicking ass. We just worked through our first Aurora merge as part of our new rapid release process and in less than 6 weeks, the next train leaves the station. We are rewriting the way we build software and we are doing it fast.
We’re succeeding because we’re acting deliberately. We’re doing it on purpose. We know what we need our release process to do and we’re building forward from that, instead of shooting first and calling whatever we hit the target.
I’m glad that we’re being deliberate about how we build Firefox. We need to be deliberate about what we build, too. I’ll tell you how I think that should go, after a brief digression on how it has gone up until now.
(If you have no time for that, deb’s written a more concise introduction.)
