"Just trying to "quick fix" apparent bugs, without having understood the complex problem in its entirety beforehand, is a pretty bad approach in quite some area

"Just trying to "quick fix" apparent bugs, without having understood the complex problem in its entirety beforehand, is a pretty bad approach in quite some areas of the tech world." And a million sysadmins across the world cried aloud in agreement and despair. The point is that I think there are business side problems more than there are tech problems in this industry as a whole. I think the phrase "the perfect is the enemy of the good" is a dangerous one for so many managers to latch onto. More on point to the article though, we need more magnum opuses, more results of this kind of long term thinking, put into action. Not more band-aids on problems. I do think though, that big picture thinkers of this ilk do find themselves trapped into a twist on the Bertrand Russell saying, "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." What we need then, are some of the intelligent to gain a bit of the cocksuredness, and the stupid to gain a bit of doubt.
