Just like nobody was forced to buy a model T. Nobody was forced to plug their phone line into their computer. Nobody was forced to get a streaming box.
This is happening because people desire it on the margin. And the network effects will make it more attractive each time somebody adopts it.
Not being allowed to do things is called being regulated. So Facebook shouldn't be regulated in the same way that ATT is because they currently aren't being regulated in the same way that ATT is?
I would expect the opposite. As the mechanical stuff becomes cheaper and more automated, the creative work decreases in proportion but increases in absolute terms.
I never claimed to be perfectly aligned with your opinion. I just agreed that the person you were responding to was off, in that the issue isn't whether or not people are "good enough."
Trump circumvented the traditional process for becoming president by aligning with the underclass...
The elites made fun of him relentlessly. Bannon ran Breitbart out of a random townhouse basement and was denied press credentials by those empowered in the national association.
The elite tried to block both of them, and they were circumvented by interclass alliance. That's the entire idea of elite overproduction, which is what we are talking about.
Elite overproduction is basically when more people have the resources to grab power than the power structure allows to hold power.
Not arguing that trump is a victim, just saying he has been considered gauche and passé for a long while. Gauche and passé ends up just meaning "not elite."
If you make a million dollars a year running a plumbing business, you are rich, but you aren't elite. If you make 400k at Skadden, you are closer to being elite.
I'm almost certain you have, at some point in your career, correctly implemented a feature, only for an operations or product counterpart to blame you for some piece of out of scope functionality not being there.
How did that make you feel? Did you alter your behavior to be less helpful in the future? Did you start recording meetings so that you had a source of truth on explicit scope?
If team members think or feel that they "need to cover their ass," that hurts the company's mission, and wastes resources. Worse, it can lead to managers pushing for excessive due diligence, which saps the motivation of ICs.
Blame is ultimately a waste of energy. Every team member is going to make mistakes if they are taking sufficient risks. You can fire people who have a negative contribution level or chronically underperform without leaning on blame.
So, for people to quickly implement http requests, we need to feed, clothe, and discipline humans for a minimum of two decades, backed by legions of teachers, doctors, and professors with endless time to service them.
That doesn't seem sustainable. It also seems like a poor cost to value ratio
