> The issue is that novelty, by definition, doesn’t have a track record, which means that you can’t predict how it’ll go, but given the nature of the economy we live in, odds are that it will not make enough money to pay for itself.
Never really thought of it this way, but it makes me think that a headstrong, data-informed mindset actually encourages the suppression of novelty (which is so prevalent in tech)
