I forget the word or the link, but I think there was a "rule of thumb" thing that circulated HN about having a limited budget for taking-risks/being-bleeding-edge, and focus in spending that on differentiating properties of your projects, while the rest should stay "old and boring"

The idea of spending fewer "innovation tokens" was definitely on my mind when I was thinking through this.
