Darwin's theory

Manager: You haven't started using the common website for sharing documents of latest version
Team member: I am frustrated and confused. A few months back it was a shared folder, then it was VSS and then subversion and now it is the common website. By the time I stabilize the usage of one, it is decommissioned and a new one is in place. Why does it change so often?
Manager: It is like evolution. If not for it, you would have just remained a monkey even now.
