One example of something that became semi-mainstream in a decade and very mainstream in two decades is https://mastodon.social/@danluu/110213144744259862. Another is the idea that you can and should be able to build code basically all the time, have CI, etc.

Brooks, writing in 1995, noted that someone from MS wrote him to say that MS can build once a day. Brooks considers that a positive development, but isn't sure it's worth it. He implies that it's reasonable to merge/build once a week.
