I think you draw an important distinction, but I don't believe that either of our comments are incorrect. I was explicitly referring to a development cycle that is too fast. After all, developers are humans and not machines. Perpetuall

"If you ask any developer whether a slower development process is better, no one ever says yes. Nor do management or customers ever complain that your development cycle is too fast for them." I've never known a developer not

This is the sort of self-important technorant that I've come to despise in tech news. It is another example of a blogger pandering to readers' absurd addiction with outrage. HTTP/2.0 is not an outrage. It is imperfect, just a
