Or is that good? I kind of think it's okay, but I'll kind of keep an eye on it Whereas with React, that's very much different paradigms. That's much more complicated, I think. Whereas just JavaScript libraries, yeah.

I think my default is always, well, why do we need to change anything? Can we just not? Because changing stuff is just like work and it's going to take longer than anyone says it will. And so can we just not? And there are people out there that still build stuff with jQuery and stuff because it just works. Is that bad? Who's that guy on X who's like,

the millionaire hacker guy, the nomad list guy, Levels, Peter Levels. And I think he builds all of his stuff in PHP and jQuery, doesn't he? He can build anything with this stuff. I think if you can resist, but then when you say you're resisting change, then you're kind of like an old dinosaur, aren't you? You don't want to change.

But the reality is when you're running a business, you just you do have to kind of focus mainly on customer value. And if it's not going to bring that value or maybe like increase. dead velocity by an order of magnitude or something, then do you really need to? Or is there, if you are going to do it, then how can you do it incrementally? You know, how are you going to do that?

And it's like, if you want to go back to know turn everything into stimulus that's great don't do the big stimulus project that's just going to take 18 months um to do it bit by bit you know like we're going to work on this banking area let's just tackle that one while we're while we're in there that that's more of the approach i i would really take i think um

resist as long as possible until it became glaringly obvious that either everyone's going to walk out uh which is you know not with our cloud stuff you know i don't think people are going to work walk out but i think if we really tried to keep forcing kind of smart os triton down everyone's throat i don't think it would really ended well we're gonna we have to do something there um but from a programming point of view

I'm not sure how common that problem is, really. But you do tackle hard ones, like a Ruby upgrade. What's good about things like that is that you know, you get the obsolescence. So you know that if you don't fix stuff by this date, then you're unsupported and you're in dangerous territory at that point.

So that's quite nice when you have these actual... So if someone said, right, jQuery is getting turned off, you can't really do that, can you? But if they did, then maybe that would be a good thing to do. But yeah, but to try and simplify it as well, though, because... That's always a challenge to try and keep the stack and everything as simple as you can, which is hard.

And it's something that 37signals obviously do really well. But then they have fewer moving parts, I think. And they invent all that stuff anyway, so it's kind of different.

Honestly, that's such good advice. I think, yeah, I We maybe didn't heed that. There's always this tension, isn't there? It's a bit like a build versus buy, although it's open source. You're not really buying. You're just kind of borrowing.
