- lnenad 5mo agoWhy can't innovation bring better stability?
- nine_k 5mo agoInnovation is change, and change is the opposite of stability. Innovation can reduce pain though, if the current pain is strong enough. A stable stream of failures in production can be the kind of "stability" you want to disrupt.
- lnenad 5mo agoWhat are we talking about? Philosophically yes. Factually, no. In the context of a system innovation could be switching from one form that renders in 1 second to another that renders in 50ms. Stability isn't part of that equation.
- nine_k 5mo agoIs this switching risk-free? Consider all these ancient computer devices that run high-stakes equipment for years and decades without change. An RPi could replace an ancient PDP-11, cost a fraction, consume a fraction of energy, be faster, etc. But it also may introduce new and unknown failure modes.
- mpyne 5mo agoBeing able navigate change can provide stability in the long term though, at least as opposed to being resistant to change.
- nly 5mo agoThe important thing is to raise the question and have the discussion. By asking the question, you're not precluding the experiment.
