I'm quoted in this @rebackermann piece on the problems of "design thinking" in the #MITTechReview - there are more great perspectives in here as well, check it out! https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/09/1067821/design-thinking-retrospective-what-went-wrong/

Design thinking was supposed to fix the world. Where did it go wrong?

An approach that promised to democratize design may have done the opposite.

#US has placed restrictions ever on what #chips can be sold to #China and who can work for #ChineseCompanies. What will these new #geopolitical machinations mean for the more than $500 billion #semiconductor industry?

What’s next for the chip industry

Aggressive new US policies will be put to the test in 2023. They could ultimately fragment the global semiconductor industry.

Philosophically, I suspect bc Twitter is trying to do a Central Planning Committee of the USSR, 'I alone can fix it' thing, and funnel us into one place, it's in trouble. But technically is a whole other issue: 'Here’s how a Twitter engineer says it will break in the coming weeks: One insider says the company’s current staffing isn’t able to sustain the platform.'
