Key to success is QUALIFIED developers (not an indian "seniors" with 1 year of experience) + FULL ATTENTION TO FEEDBACK. Last one never ever considered seriously in every company. Every "top" thinks "he rules" and just f** any opinion he doesn't like. FIRE HIM, he works AGAINST the company!
Software is not made for developers - it made for USERS. But exactly users are who listened the last! WTF??
If your manager/support/dev doesn't read every single feedback - he lose important info. If he cannot understand what user needs, he is clown occupying wrong position. Every feedback should produce idea or feature, there is no "empty feedback"!
This is why MS rolling down - everybody there thinks they are smarter than users. And they think they can round the Earth in their direction. MS will be destroyed in 5 years, they are not players anymore.

I agree 100%. It is obvious that this rule is ignored very often because I run into so much software which:
Does Not Work:
1 the way you (user) expects
2 have the functionality that you (user) needs
3 loses the data you typed on the screen
4 will not let you move to the next section or form because some hidden (to user) element is not filled out, but is also not obvious
And so much more.

Not yet, but it probably will.
I seen a post on Facebook about this the other day, something along the lines of: "I can't believe I am nearly 30 and have only just realised that hold your horses means to be stable". The post had 100k+ comments of people saying "OMG, I can't believe I didn't know this until now either!".
This seems to be quite a common trend (from my observations), posts claiming that X means Y, and as we all (should) know by now, the internet people believe what the internet people are told... no questions asked.
Soon, if not already, half the internet will believe "hold your horses" means to be stable, and good luck trying to convince those people they are wrong. So it will naturally just become a fact that 'everyone' knows is correct.
Or maybe you could just create a counter-post and un-convince them of this 'fact', they are very easily swayed...

Yes, and the measure of how well you hold them is called instability.

State a trap with key communication (9)
State = Mess
a trap = a gin
key = g
Communication = messaging

TELEGRAPH?
Just a guess based on "key communication" and STATE == TELL, but I don't think it's right.

We don't normally hint the CCC - the idea is that the clue is the hint - but what the heck - I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

I like to drop a hint if people are really struggling.
Either an alternative clue for the same answer or just a general push towards how the clue is broken between definition/wordplay. Nothing to give it away but enough to reduce the chances of having the same person setting it for days on end.

That's why I added the "three day rollback" to the original rules.

I think the two can work perfectly well together.
A hint here might have been something like "the state is not in America" - not a giveaway by any stretch but one that would have got me (and I dare say,one or two others) away from being stuck with the idea that it was going to start with a two letter U.S. state abbreviation.
