Yes all roles are important.
If elephants get wiped out, there will be some consequences.
If insects or algae gets wiped out, the world is apocalyptically screwed.
- kk_cz 9y agoyet you are comparing the impact of wiping out two species of mammals with possible impact of all insects or algae being gone...
- jansho 9y agoWell no the point is that while all roles are important, some are so foundational that if they break down, the whole system breaks down. Innovation doesn't happen all the time, and it needn't to, as long as the system is stable and works for everyone (in theory.) We still need it when it's required, otherwise maintainers are indeed honourable roles.
