- nextos 7y agoAlso, for desktop software, I have found that small releases are a lot less risky. You experience small issues, one by one, instead of a massive amount of bugs coming all of a sudden. For example, last time I updated a Linux distribution with 6-month releases this was the case. Whereas with a rolling release one, it's just much more pleasant.
- deckarep 7y agoThis is true of releasing code in general. Changes that accumulate over time actually increase risk whether it be desktop or server-side.
