My name is Narendra Vardi, and I write about my learnings, observations and trends in the Software world. Besides software, I also talk about photography, travel stories, books and movies. If that's something that interests you, consider* [**subscribing*](https://www.narendravardi.com/#/portal/signup/free)**.* --- In my city, there is a fruit bowl seller, let's call him a ***Great fruit bowl seller***, who has an excellent eye for identifying sweet and delicious fruits and selling them cut into bowls to the customers. Not surprisingly, I am one of his customers. This fruit bowl seller is ten minutes from my place, and there are various other fruit bowl sellers during this ten-minute walk. They charge the same, but their fruit quality isn't that great. They are of good quality but compared to the **Great fruit bowl seller**'s fruit bowl, they are not good. I only recently discovered a ***Great fruit bowl seller***, and I visited him frequently whenever I wanted a fruit bowl. Initially, I felt good, but then a problem arose. The problem was his inconsistency. He's not available to sell every day. He doesn't maintain a timetable also. It's as if he went in search of great fruits and disappeared for a few days. Once I asked about his absence, and he just gave a smile - which I felt was a zero-mark answer. Anyways, long story short, I can't trust this ***Great fruit bowl seller*** to be available when I need a fruit bowl the most, and it has become frustrating that I will have to cross all the good enough fruit bowl sellers to reach this great fruit bowl seller and only to find him absent. After observing for a few weeks, I shifted from relying on the ***Great fruit bowl seller*** to good-enough fruit bowl sellers. I always think about visiting the ***Great fruit bowl seller,*** but then the unreliability of his presence bothers me and wastes my time. So, ***Great fruit bowl seller*** thanks for your time! :) What would you pick if you were in my situation? An inconsistent **Great fruit bowl seller** or a consistently available, good enough fruit bowl seller? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Do you know of situations where consistency can become a dominating factor?
