I'd like to see some posts on practical experiences in cases where there's enough perceived benefit in switching from LAMP to justify the effort. I have experience a generation back, moving from proprietary stacks, and learnt two contradictory things: 1. Re-engineering projects constantly fail the catch-up test (the legacy system picks up speed under threat) 2. Legacy systems kill great companies slowly but surely In that contradiction you also have the startup gap - if your v1 does a tenth of the incumbent's v100 and you can pick up some market share, you can win on pace and focus alone.
