I disagree. Most new development in tech, including software, have some dependencies on something that was not available before.

- arendtio 3y agoIf that is so, how was is possible to develop the dependency? By definition it was not available before, so it must be a new development. So by that reasoning it is impossible to ever see something new. Since you write "Most" there seem to be fewer 'new developments' which do not follow this pattern. So all you really say, is that rare new developments, which do not depend some other innovation, enable many followup innovations. After all, your argument is not in conflict with the previous argument. You say, that new developments (aka implementations) have dependencies that have to be available before they can be made a reality, while the previous post just said, that long before something can be implemented, someone had imagined/dreamt about it already.
