The more time the developers spend talking about where they are in development, the less time is spent developing...
Where do you suppose they should draw the line.
Personally, I prefer to let them work without constant distraction so the product ultimately gets done quicker.
I'm not so sure I can agree with that. I've had the SkunkCraftsUpdater running alongside the TBM as well as the Islander, IXEG 737, M20 Collection, MU-2, Pocket Rocket, Saab 340A and SR22 G1000 Series. Not even one CTD.
Isn't this one of the reasons to check your controls? The TBM is after all a study-level aircraft.
This is not to say that I haven't made the same mistake myself.
I learned from it, though.
