It's smth inflicted on all of us by the environment and we are facing the unpleasant choice of either "throw in the towel" (as Ed said) or adapt to environment speed and compatibility expectations and inflict on projects depending on your project. Unfortunately, absorbing the environmental changes and incompatibilities and guard your downstreams from them is plain impossible with current manpower. Environmental changes are accelerating exponentially thus the possibility to absorb changes at certain layers requires growth in investments at a similar level in investment at the layer where absorbing is wanted. As long as this doesn't happen these changes will be thrown down and down the stack multiplying the collective price we (as a community) pay more and more. > Am 26.03.21 um 08:20 schrieb Ed Merks: > > All, > > I've been tempted for quite some time to make a similar announcement, only > for EMF.
