It seems that systems and principles invented for some specific situations get rapidly entrenched as "best practice" due to the wild success of their root corporations. That's twisted much like fashion - "that dress looks great on that model, maybe if I wear that dress, I would look good too".
- solidasparagus 6y agoThere's some truth in that, but there's more to it. Successful tech companies build good tech that is often worth adopting: - the companies' successes are often predicated on strong ability to develop technologies - good (well-maintained) technology requires resources and the successful tech companies have those resources.
- sriku 6y agoValid. The "fashion" point was more about P(adoption worthy tech | successful originator) != P(successful originator | adoption worthy tech)
