As a former engineer who wrote just a tiny bit of code and had to rely on experts through my time in ports across the world for the most part. I believe this piece by lyn sets out the issues of “improvements” very well.
I’ve seen some non consensus supported changes flowing through in software development that brought ongoing problems in port operations.
Sometimes pushed through by head quarters, which lead to outflow of both customers and people on the work floor. Costing many millions a week, which became a downward spiral. A solid basis that is supported throughout the user system that does its job is the most important thing.
A system that will become the monetary basis of the human race needs more difficulty to be changed than a local US constitution.
We should educate more people to think about it this way.

This Friday I will attend another one in Amsterdam. I’m not a programmer, but I’ve seen a lot of shit through decades of “updates”. Let’s make sure we don’t move too fast and coincidentally make a mistake.
