I find it interesting that he repeats the mantra 'be like water', which seems to partially equate to 'give users what they want', while also discussing the mozilla/firefox history.
It hints at what I think is a natural cycle of software. Software evolves with its user base, its existence and modification over time proving its value. Then, there comes a time where the weight of its history (and feature set) becomes too much of a burden to its current user base. At that point, something happens to shed the weight.
- hedora 4y agoI think the weight comes from expanding teams and developer turnover. Small teams can avoid both these issues.
