(eyes snap open, gaze a thousand miles into the distance) YES -- I SEE NOW -- THE COMPUTATIONAL GRAPH
So a tweet I made today on Birdsite blew up. Specifically this:
"When engineering is about “solving interesting problems” and never about why these are problems, you get stuff like Uber.”
I think it touched a nerve. But it’s true. Like the whole Jeff Goldblum line in Jurassic Park, developers all preoccupied about whether they could do a thing and not about whether they should.
And this is a huge. fucking. problem.
