The Economic Advantage of Trunk-Based Development

Google had significant competitive advantage on the productivity per developer from 1998 through to the middle 2010s. Microsoft has done blog entries about how they've remediated that and finally gone to trunk-based development, say 2014, 2015. Google used this economic advantage to totally dominate Microsoft on at least the topic of mobile phones,. Android in particular. And there was a mismatch on this competition towards dominance of the second mobile platform after Apple.
