In a day to day job as a developer, sometimes we are asked to jump or to work with projects that are using different Angular releases.
This is due to many factors:
- your client, or your company, does not know that there is a newer and more secure Angular version already released or that this is going to be released soon;
- maybe the company is concerned that some libraries or plugins that they are currently using, will not work with the updated Angular version;
- the clients you are working with have not planned yet the most recent Angular update (…and they will never plan it);
- they would like to update the version, but there is no time in their plans to do it because of multiple deadlines they currently have (and they will always have).
