+1 I couldn't agree more.

The idea that growth and rapid change is always required is wrong.

I used to write about a possible distant future when a large fraction of the software that runs the world is ancient open source code: thouroughly debugged and error free, and meets requirements so well that there is no motivation to change it.

So basically, DDH has #TIGERBLOOD and is #WINNING ?
I'd prefer he engaged on the actual technical criticisms
He's a salesman not a technology guy.

(Currently. Obviously in the past he came from tech. But most of his fame is from blogging and salesman, not tech).
