Indeed. Not upgrading (incrementally in small, manageable chunks) is one of the highest costs to incur. Almost everything in software dev is done is small, iterative chunks for a good reason.
- wellpast 11y ago> Not upgrading (incrementally in small, manageable chunks) is one of the highest costs to incur. Absolutely not true as generalizable statement. Not even close. I've worked on several large software projects, from systems dev and full stack distributed web systems that have ran solidly for years and years on non-latest versions. Our productivity would have severely been hampered by a slavish adherence to a rule like this.
