The title of this one makes it seem kind of obvious. Something can’t be both smooth (in the mathematical sense) and discontinuous - that’s the definition of smooth. And yet, when it comes to software and finding disruptive ideas, we often try to get a discontinuous result with a process that favors smoothness. You can’t incrementally change your way to disruption - somewhere in there, there has to be a leap.
