Nothing in the piece argues that one shouldn't try new technology. Under this 85%-rule-of-thumb, we went with Amazon Web Services for 100% of our infrastructure in 2008. It was clearly the right choice, and worth learning. My point was more that developers have a gravitational pull toward new and interesting that needs to be tempered by a focus on what's best for the business--and too often, it is not.
- joeldidit 13y agoI agree with what the article says about outsourcing things that aren't core to the business. I was responding to and disagreeing with another point the article tries to make about the use of employee time (which prioritizes the short-term over the long-term).
