Aren’t they always fighting the last war?
- Tuna-Fish 2y agoIBM is good at selling to large organizations. Large organizations are risk-averse, and prefer not to buy bleeding edge. IBM is pretty much institutionally specialized to sell what was hot last year (or last decade). People might make fun of this, but I'd like to note that there is a lot of very stable revenue in their business.
- fishnchips 2y agoMakes sense when you put it like this. In which case HCP may even be too new for them.
- ryandvm 2y agoI'd also point out that given just how bloody the bleeding edge of software development tooling is, only investing in things that have managed to stick around for a decade sounds pretty damn smart. Hell, React alone has been through 3 or 4 different paradigms in the last 10 years.
