> Software can be "done".... Any embedded software that's not field-upgradable is done when the device ships. That's a perfect example of an that proves the rule. Saying that, even within that ecosystem, there are libraries, ports, oops-it-blew-up patches, builds against emulators because the hardware isn't ready, etc. You don't write a new codebase from scratch for every device you ship. Parts of that "done" code end up in next year's model.
