[[!meta title="The Cathedral & The Bazaar"]]

* Author: Eric S. Raymond

## Main themes

* Linus Law: "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" (page 30);
  "debugging is parallelizable" (page 32).

* Delphi Effect: "the averaged opinion of a mass of equally expert (or equally
  ignorant) observers is quite a bit more reliable a predictor than the opinion
  of a single randomly chosen observer" (page 31).

* Brooks Law: "complexity and communication costs of a project rise with the
  square number of developers" (pages 32, 49).

## Misc

* Kropotkin is cited at page 52: "principle of understanding" versus the
  "principle of command".

* Visão libertariana: "The Linux world behaves in many respects like a free
  market or an ecology, a collection of selfish agents attempting to maximize
  utility, which in the process produces a self-correcting spontaneous order
  more elaborate and efficient than any amount of central planning could have
  achieved." (page 52). Logo em seguida ele nega a existência de um autruísmo
  puro.
