I don't like betting on newcomers. While they may have some good ideas that improve the industry overall, there is a lot of long-term learning that newcomers can't yet benefit from. That usually leads to silly mistakes and quality problems. The useful aspect of newcomers is the credible threat they pose to the old guard of taking a portion of the pie away if they don't innovate. But I don't feel like spending my own money on that.

I tried so hard to live framework. Now I barely like them. Too many concessions, but the price just sucks.

Of the four I bought for employees. Two have had serious issues.
