“Lock-in” has become such a common term in technology deployments that I think that we might be losing sight not only of what it means, but how to recognize and avoid it. There is a tendency to oversimplify our thinking about lock-in, which comes down to something along the lines of, “if I use this or that piece of software, it is going to cost me a lot when the time comes to switch away from it.”
