       I just think there's such an illusion of determinism in the software industry. As if all things are observed. As if any finding must generalize. As if (and I think this one is a profound one) all software developers are uniform and entirely fungible

       As if the environment into which you are delivering software is itself static, rather than a thing that can change in ways that make your previous ways of working less adaptive or less successful!

       @aral @grimalkina @lisihocke Yup, this.  It’s the magic of calling everyone an “engineer” where in reality we spend most of our time playing with Legos of various sizes.

       @grimalkina @lisihocke It seems to me that industry, and capitalism itself, is operating exactly as designed. Maybe what we need are ethical alternatives to industry and capitalism.
