- raldi 14y agoYou're attacking a strawman. Nobody claimed Bridge 1 is always the wrong choice.
- yen223 14y agoSorry for the snark. I'm merely pointing out that the real world is a lot more nuanced than "Big design bad! Agile good!"
- altrego99 14y agoThe first iPhone was a bridge with a circus. Hence everybody went to see it, even though the toll was hefty. Some loved it so much, they even left their own village for good. In time a settlement grew around the circus. Now most people live around it. To see tigers and the zebras every morning became their way of life. No one lives in the old villages anymore, and who would - it doesn't even have a giraffe! Then came another bridge - little down the stream. This also had a circus, but with robots in it instead of animals. It became suddenly very popular for two things - 1) people are already used to living around a circus, and 2) the toll was way cheaper. Also robots were a novelty - who wants to see a giraffe when there are robots?
