Yes, exactly. Any CEO worth his salt would know to hedge his bets and stay on a platform till its already dead. That is what Stephen Elop taught everyone. I do

I do think that some amount of bad architecture is involved, but flipkart does have a lot of money, and a lot of good engineers. They even have cool stuff on github [0], which needs good people. They have likely fixed their architecture issues by now.
Flipkart has money, and lots of it (current valuation is $11 billion). There is absolutely no way that they are considering this on a cost-analysis basis.
- wpietri 12y agoThe Nokia analogy bears approximately no relationship to this situation. Nokia was a platform company. Flipkart is just using other people's platforms, ones that will continue to exist independent of their efforts. Your theory that people with lots of money and stuff on Github have no architectural problems does not match my experience. Also, I like you using the web to tell me the web is dead. Do go on.
