In medicine, when a big breakthrough happens, we hear that we could see practical applications of the technology in 5-10 years.

In computer technology, we reach the same level of proof of concept and ship it as a working product, and ignore the old adage “The first 90% of implementation takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the other 90%”.

It’s almost like medicine that goes into your body is very different from apps on the App Store. But other than that, yes, very interesting observation Cerevant@lemmy.world!
