My bugbear with that XKCD is that even if it's true, it's also how progress is made. By this point I'm so annoyed whenever anyone links it that I kinda just wish Randall would take it down.
- tubthumper8 2y agoYeah, and that comic is about standards anyways, not tools, so it's doubly annoying when it's linked out of context
- earnestinger 2y ago> it's also how progress is made Introducing n+1 solution/ standard may be the necessary cost of making progress, but it is possible to incur that cost without gaining anything (at the extreme, trolling is fun activity with net negative on bigger scale)
- scosman 2y agoYeah but still seems relevant when complaining there are too many options and praising the n+1 option
