I don't really understand why they say that, and I hope I'll never understand.

I have a very good method of testing improvements, and while it is harder now to
find improvements, I still find some from time to time. Enough to produce one or
two major updates a year.
It's just a matter of sustained work, 365/7/24.
The real question is how one can manage to sustain this level of work and
motivation for several years in a row. I do, but I don't know why.
