Working in the software industry, circa 1989
&gt; Even if we did see then (and we mostly didn’t) that small, frequent releases were better in a whole bunch of ways, we couldn’t really do it. It was expensive to ship on physical media, and disruptive to our customers to have to do frequent installs.<p>It&#x27;s still disruptive to customers. As a software engineer I love CD&#x2F;CI. It makes the entire process much smoother and more efficient.<p>As a customer &#x2F; end-user, though? Nope. I absolutely hate it. Maybe I&#x27;m just getting old but I&#x27;m extremely nostalgic for the days where I got to decide if I the upgrade was worth it to me or not. These days things will change and move you on without any notice or opt-in what-so-ever.
