The deeper you go into the tech stack, the slower things move.

Frontend frameworks move faster than backend frameworks, which move faster than programming languages which move faster than operating systems which move faster than processor architectures which move faster than the technology used to create them.

Linux moves faster than many web frameworks imo.

But not the interface exposed to the developer, or its coding standards, or best practices.

This is an interesting comment but I’m not sure it stands up to closer examination. For example, ISA’s change very slowly - more so than aspects of fabrication.

I’d argue that the parts of the stack that connect with other levels move more slowly than those that don’t. They need to be stable so that the whole stack continues to work together.
