Building them might be messy, but rarely fails from a technical point of view.
- weinzierl 2y ago"there are millions of successful projects of this type out there." I wish and believe we are getting there but I don't see it today. Just as an example: I traveled a lot after COVID and almost every tourist attraction has a photographer or photo site and they upsell by offering you pictures. I have yet to encounter two attractions that use the same system, they are all different and terrible in different ways. They all do basically the same thing, so there is no reason not to have a standard solution. I have no doubt one will replace the existing solutions sooner than later. So, millions of them but I would hardly call them successful. Them being messy is the collective learning process that has been mostly completed for real construction projects, but is still in full swing for IT projects.
- rolisz 2y agoI think you two agree: there are millions of successful projects out there, but they are not standardized. But the guy who made 1000 of them knows exactly how long it will take him to build the 1001th
- 0x000xca0xfe 2y ago"they are all different and terrible in different ways. They all do basically the same thing, so there is no reason not to have a standard solution" Sounds exactly like small construction projects. I have heard this sentence almost word by word from somebody who owns multiple small rental objects.
