Agree. That statement/sentiment though doesn't refute the point that it's destroying software.
- layer8 2y agoI actually don’t agree. Maintaining or not maintaining backwards compatibility is often a decision made on the technical level, e.g. by a tech lead, or at least heavily based on the advice from technical people, who tend to prefer not being restricted by backwards compatibility over not breaking things for relying parties.
