Design Thinking! Comic'Disruptor' is a Red Flag for me, now.
Thank you Mastodon, you are currently kicking seven shades of shit out of Twitte- I mean X right now! Very much appreciate all the likes and shares!
Janne@designthinkingcomic achually, there's a mistake in the last step - they're not going to turn profit.
It's just a scam to get new investors and make a ton of money for venture capitalists before the untenable business model collapses on itself...
Krupo@janvenetor @designthinkingcomic I guess if we're going to be pedantic, "short term profit" in the sense that it might appear to make money while it's hiding tons of losses due to shady accounting?
Wouldn't fit in the frame...
@krupo Yeah... it was already pretty wordy.
@designthinkingcomic how many comics have footnotes anyway?
Random Geek in limbo@krupo @designthinkingcomic at least one

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage is a delight.
chatkitty@krupo @designthinkingcomic XKCD is well known for its footnotes.
Raghav AgrawalWhat word should be used for the first one, like instead of disrupt
Marc Jacobs@impactology @designthinkingcomic Disrupt is a perfectly wonderful term, that even comes from an academic background. Depressing that it has been misappropriated by people who couldn’t be bothered to read the short book that launched it all. Or, if they read it, absorb anything from it.
This curmudgeonly take doesn’t stop me from adoring the comic above, 🥰🥰🥰
@trollball @impactology Tech has a long history of stealing terminology it doesn't fully care to understand as long as it helps to sell something.

Could y'all please untag me from this discussion?

@designthinkingcomic I hate the term "move fast break things".
Cos you know there won't be a good thing to replace what was broke.
Ariane Tanner🤣
Oh cool, please share more of them!

i think the phrase is unfairly maligned. I've always associated it more with Agile DevOps development and testing workflows that make sense in the space Facebook was developing in. it's a mindset that runs counter to certain engineering practices which wouldn't have been to their advantage.
if other companies undergoing distinct efforts took on the motto, I don't think that invalidates it for the right circumstances

Chuck@designthinkingcomic yes! The movie Glass Onion did a really nice job of summarizing my opinion of "disruptors." (And it's hilarious.)

@rysiek Thank you! :-) I'm trying to get better on that front!
Fabien@designthinkingcomic I love the rule of “if you don’t understand why that thing was put there, you're not allowed to remove it”.
Works for pieces of code, features, regulations, laws…

Yser'alotha the Sleeping Yeen@designthinkingcomic "Disruptor" means "We're going to ignore all regulations everywhere we go, and then hide behind the fact that our "industry" is never-before-seen to excuse it."

Shane Celis@designthinkingcomic TECH CEOS, laughing: both obvs!

Tattie (old account)@designthinkingcomic "disruptor" is now fully linked to "imploder" in my mind ever since the sub incident.
Less potential for that in, say, operating a social media company, but there's still time for that giant "X" to fall on Musk's head.
Paul Dyson@designthinkingcomic and what if the answer to the first one is yes? Like many non-VC backed, founder-owned startup and scale ups do every day?
I am genuinely curious as this, not the world of AirBnB or Uber is my world.
Jette@designthinkingcomic Hint, it's not the first one.
Milcom MiasmaIsn't interesting that two very accurate descriptions now read as cynical?
LisPi@designthinkingcomic Yeah, kind of funny how they never seem to provide a satisfactory answer to what they intend to disrupt.
@designthinkingcomic @JoBlakely Glass Onion did a really great job of showing this demographic in action.
