Never ending competitive upgrade treadmill, aka innovation.
Even if you dont want to release an upgrade, the layer below that you rely on still will, and then you'll have to keep up.
- naasking 3y agoIt seems like a mistake to conflate an upgrade treadmill with innovation.
- tempaway38641 3y agoPeople innovating in the lower layers (e.g. Apple decides to move to ARM) creates an update treadmill for everyone in the upper layers
- naasking 3y agoThat doesn't make sense. If I'm on x64 Mac OS, why should Apple switching to ARM on their newer computers that other people are buying necessitate an update treadmill for me? Or anyone for that matter, even the people buying the new computers? Apple could just port the existing software over.
