It’s a fair take but it ignores that it’s all path dependence. Any decision whether on the product side or in engineering cements a structure that is painful to change later.

I read some stuff by Zitron a while back and even back then it seemed untenable and divorced from reality aiming mostly to score points with an audience that’s more than eager to believe him.
