Moved Blips - Triangle

Constant Blips - Circle

Quadrants

Techniques: elements of a software development process, such as experience design; and ways of structuring software, such as micro-services.

Tools: components, such as databases, software development tools, such as versions control systems; or more generic categories of tools, such as the notion of polyglot persistance.

Platforms: things that we build software on top of: mobile technologies like Android, virtual platforms like the JVM, or generic kinds of platforms like hybrid clouds

Programming Languages and Frameworks

Rings

Radial Coordinate (r): distance away from origin ("radial coordinate")
• Adopt (r=<150): blips you should be using now; proven and mature for use
• Trial (r>150 & r=<275): blips ready for use, but not as completely proven as those in the adopt ring; use on a trial basis, to decide whether they should be part of your toolkit
• Assess (r>275 & r<=350): things that you should look at closely, but not necessarily trial yet - unless you think they would be a particularly good fit for you
• Hold (r>350 & r<=400): things that are getting attention in the industry, but not ready for use; sometimes they are not mature enough yet, sometimes they are irredeemably flawed

Angular Coordinate(t): placement of blips from the origin in degrees
• 0-90 : Languages
• 90-180 : Platforms
