Are we talking about Sun Tzu stuff here?
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
Is this particular case, make everybody compromises performance by adapting themselves to OpenGL while we prepare an almost-bare-metal thing?
- ctdonath 12y agoThe key (and there's probably a Sun Tzu quote about it as well) is getting your competition to where they want to be ... in a way that entangles them there. OpenGL is a respectable place to be, and making it an industry standard & norm ensures everyone can achieve their goals by leveraging the work of others; there's nothing wrong with a solid grounding in OpenGL. The trick, of course, is recognizing that there is always a better position, and preparing to move there while helping everyone else get to a nice comfortable position below it.
