I don’t the answer to the all questions. But here I think it is just a way to avoid responsibility. If someone choses CDN “number 3” and it goes down, business people *might* put a blame on this person for not choosing “the best”. I am not saying it is a right approach, I just seen it happens too many times.

Then testing how they play Factorio will work better

Point is that software is much “softer” and fluid than buildings. If comparing changing wites ir rooms layout is similar what refactoring of software is like, then I am happy for experience you’ve had!

I personally think that this kind of analogy is inheretenly wrong.

Software has very little bounds to physical world, comparing to actual architecture. Most of the bounds rise from ideas.

Toilet in this analogy cannot be moved, because it was originally decided, that it will be locked and didn’t invest in mobile toilet. Which was reasonable, but highlights lack of vision for the final product.

And this is the biggest difference with architecture. Nobody starts building a house without knowing final design.

While software is the opposite.

I had a new laptop somewhere around 2006. Vista was lagging and throwing errors constantly. I switched to beta of windows 7 and it was waay snappier and stable. On the same hardware.

It is easy to choose for others, isn’t it?
