Yes. Great stuff. Just reading it ...<p>Yegge sez: &quot;a platform-less product will always be replaced by an equivalent platform-ized product.&quot;<p>I guess that&#x27;s true. If I had to defend that statement, I&#x27;d try to argue that a platform, especially an open platform, will be tested, poked, prodded, evaluated, evolved and maybe even documented by many more developers than some monolithic piece of software in some closed code base.<p>But what other arguments are there?
