> Given my mental model of centralization vs. decentralization, I think it's more productive to think about the boundary: how much decentralization do we need? If there's too little, then software will stagnate from lack of competition; if there's too much, then it'll stagnate from lack of coordination. So we want to figure out where the sweet spot is. This is a static view. A dynamic view would recognize that systems have a lifetime and tend to go through centralize and then disintegrate. Decentralization often exists prior to centralization. Catch systems on the rise.
