Incremental version

Incremental approaches are often discussed in various contexts in software development and business strategies. Here are some insights from different professionals:

1. Brand Management: Chad Summe from Procter & Gamble explains that "incremental" often refers to driving additional value by consistently building relationships with new customers, rather than just relying on existing ones. It's about daily efforts to maintain and grow trust with each new customer 1.

2. User Interface (UI) Frameworks: Ty Overby discusses how incrementalization in UI frameworks helps improve performance by updating only parts of the UI that have changed, rather than reloading the entire interface. This allows for higher efficiency and smoother experiences for users 2.

3. Software Releases: John Siracusa and Casey Liss emphasize the benefits of continuous or incremental software releases, which involve making smaller, more frequent updates. This approach reduces the risk of widespread issues and makes it easier to identify and rollback problematic updates. It's seen as a best practice in critical environments like healthcare and security software 3, 4.

   Incremental Backups and Restic

4. Backup Strategies: Alexander Neumann from Restic describes incremental backups as a method where only changes since the last backup are stored, which optimizes storage and retrieval processes. Restic also includes metadata to ensure that backups can be easily restored to their most recent states 5.

These examples illustrate the versatility and benefits of incremental approaches across different fields.
