Software development processes in industry might almost be viewed as being driven by the same forces as evolution. Those that work get copied, those that fail die (ie go bust/not copied {that is not to say they are not repeated independently elsewhere)).
Of course, that's the way it should be. In academic environments, on the other hand, ideas can be disconnected from economic reality. The result can be sterile ideas that take root and survive.
