IrisMy first article from Wellington: it's about some weird things I've noticed about tech people and their weird phobia of observation and empirical thinking.
Tech's empiricism problem | deadSimpleTech
The tech industry has extreme difficulty integrating information that doesn't have its source in an overtly rationalist process. In practice, this means that we tend to think that if you can't give a logical chain of deductions that proves that something is the case, your information is worthless. The issue with this is that day-to-day, in the tech world and outside of it, the vast bulk of the information we use to make decisions isn't this kind of information.
From the introduction of the 1985 Peter Naur essay that Ashwin Sundar references in my previous post:
"[I]t is important to have an appropriate understanding of what programming is. If our understanding is inappropriate we will misunderstand the difficulties that arise in the activity and our attempts to overcome them will give rise to conflicts and frustrations."
No, as they say, rightly, notes.
As a technical consultant, my experience feels like a fun-house-mirror view of the more common dev experience I read about. I recognize the corporate part, but the technical/managerial divide is strong & set pretty close to the weeds. Some people feel more like they're doing an impression of a software manager.
But it occurs to me that I've not heard ANY mention LLMs or vibe coding at my current long-term client. I wonder what hidden factor has filtered that out?
@ghalldev There are many projects I’ve NEVER STARTED because I figured why bother. From where I sit, your pride is well-earned!
Elizabeth AyerOn the plus side, at least future generations won't have the cognitive skills to judge us harshly.
