Think Big Code Small

He titled it, I haven't seen a new software development problem in 30 years. And he's not wrong. It caused us to stop in our tracks and have a thought. And we wanted to share that with you. But the question is, why does this cycle persist? More importantly, how do we finally break free from it?
