The choice is not between no change and drastic change, but selecting a rate of change that is appropriate. Things which do not change, die, as the only thing that is constant is change. Change or be changed.

I visit a few sites that never changed (or at least changed things only few were even aware of) and they live long enough to lose count of hordes of change-praisers appear and die.

I believe this eternal loop of change is a trap that impatient people force themselves in. Instead of accustoming and learning the current state, they rush into another one with a change that has unclear implications. As a result, they never get where they are and lose any track of where they were or where they’re heading at. Their only comfort can be found in a constant change.

These few sites are like home to me. One of them I visit with years-long pauses and every time I return it’s the same user experience. That’s invaluable.

I'd be curious to hear about some of those sites.

Sharks haven't changed in about 450 million years. There are designs that just work and don't need to change unless the environment changes drastically.

We've actually made many changes to HN over the years, but almost all have been subtle enough that most users don't notice.
