SHOW NOTES:

TECHNOLOGY COMPETITION IS NOT LIKE SPORTS COMPETITION

• There is not "end of season" in technology
• Technology carries the past forward (technical debt)
• Technology doesn't have trades or relegation
• The lifecycle of tech is different that sports fandom

COMPETITION IN TECHNOLOGY TAKES ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS

• People stay at companies far less than before
• People compete in technology at personal levels, at team/group levels, at company levels and at technology levels.
