<p>This week, I re-watched Revolution OS - a 2001 documentary about the history of Linux, open source and the free software movement.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was also explaining to my son about how software used to be distributed on CD-ROMs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This got me thinking.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What if we still primarily distributed software on physical media like CD-ROMs?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What if every release to your software project had to be burned to a disc, transported and inserted into a server to be installed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This may take days or weeks instead of seconds or minutes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once a version is distributed, it isn't quick or easy to fix a bug or release a feature.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can't simply update the version on every CD that was distributed with some hardware or attached to a computing magazine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>How would you change writing software if you worked this way?</p>
