I trust Nassim Taleb's "Lindy" concept more than any new tool in this space. It works because it has worked very well for most things for a long time and I don't need any other explanation. (My best guess is that -- content management systems inherently suck, and that Wordpress is one of the few successful ones precisely because it did not set out to be a content management system.)

From Taleb's 2012 book _Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder_ > Every year that passes without extinction doubles the additional life expectancy. This is an indicator of some robustness. The robustness of an item is proportional to its life! "The Lindy effect proposes the longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, it is also likely to have a longer remaining life expectancy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
