Many companies are locked into long release cycles (once or maybe twice a year). Just stop, already. We're agile. Those long cycles made sense when we were distributing on on floppy disk. Takes a long time to churn out those disks. We don't do that any more. 1/4
In fact, I think we should get rid of the notion of a release altogether. We can even dispense with publically visible version numbers. If you haven't updated in the last couple days, you're out of date. 2/4
Yes, I know all the arguments surrounding authoritarian IT departments run by facsists who derive power from withholding necessary software from people who need it to get work done. That's not my problem. 3/4
They can do that on their own by just not allowing updates (and put up with the screams when those people can't get work done becuase they can't get at the critical capability you just added). Don't see why I should enable that sh***t, though. Release early, release often. 4/4
And you Apple-store folks, I want to see the next version in the pipeline the instant the last one goes live on the store.
