>because I missed the market

This is not relevant to the vast majority of developers, realistically (and is an important caveat to your original comment).

Statistically speaking, most developers are not working for startups. And of course, large companies have the sway and politics to go around not being first. e.g. Apple isn't worried about missing the market, they are trendsetters and they light a market up even when 10 years late to it.

Your “market” can be an internal customer.
