the incentives are totally backward
Topic: Miscellaneous 6:48 am EST, Nov 10, 2015

Brad Spengler:

People don't really care that much. All of the incentives are totally backward, and the money isn't going where it's supposed to. The problem is just going to perpetuate itself.

Ian Bogost:

Computing has become infrastructure, but it doesn't work like infrastructure.

Fifty years' worth of attempts to turn software development into a legitimate engineering practice have failed.

Engineering has always been a well-paid profession, but computing is turning it into a type of speculative finance rather than a calling.

No reasonable person would want MacGyver building their bridges or buildings. Or software!

Jaron Lanier:

If you love a medium made of software, there's a danger that you will become entrapped in someone else's recent careless thoughts. Struggle against that!
