I'm truly amazed by what is happening right now. Software is a knowledge business. Teams and orgs compete on their capacity to learn, express and operationalize knowledge.

Yet everyone is buying into the discourse of a handful of vendors that they need to lock into their ecosystems and trade in their knowledge for short term speed gains.

It's brilliant from the standpoint of the vendors, and absolutely crazy that people are arguing vehemently that walking into that trap is a competitive necessity.
