&gt; And you can say to BK and Larry now that it&#x27;s &quot;too late&quot;, just as Larry told Sun in 2005,<p>In case of software, it is <i>never too late</i>: as you once put it so eloquently, software does not suddenly stop working and does not have an expiration date.<p>If this software works and works well, then Paul Graham&#x27;s revolutionary idea of <i>when you choose technology, you have to ignore what other people are doing, and consider only what will work the best</i> applies. (Common sense really, but apparently not to the rest of our industry.)<p>If this software <i>will work the best</i>, and do exactly what I want and need it to do, I have enough experience to know not to care that everyone else runs something like git <i>just because that is trendy right now</i>. (A lesson appreciated by those who run SmartOS because it is the best available technology for virtualization, cloud, and performance, instead of running Linux and Docker.)
