The tech world has this absurd imagination that Rome is built in a day, that if we build it right they will come. Success has to be instant & exponential or it's not worthwhile.
I could not be more disgusted by this change. This attitude rules so much of what happens now. Web specs are like, oh, only 0.1% of websites use this feature after 2 years: we can ignore it. That's a huge number, and the timeframe, the expectation that either tech is adopted & loved within months or its not worthwhile is horrendous, so greatly demeans human effort & the nature of how meaning builds.
We have to get back to expecting sometimes the larger changes being slow & tectonic.
