I tend to think the technology industry could benefit from a heavy dose of humility. This isn't just a problem for people at the top - it is pervasive at all levels and professions within the technology industry.
That would go a long ways towards the ends being discussed.
- coffeefirst 6y agoI'm surprised this is being downvoted. Again and again we've seen really smart people who made a great photo app try to bring their approach to something that's genuinely hard for reasons that go beyond how to write code or build a SaaS business, and leave a trail of wreckage in their wake. Healthcare, education, civic life, etc. are all extremely valuable problems, but only if you actually get it right. Humility doesn't mean don't tackle them, it means recognizing that your expertise in one thing doesn't translate to another automatically. There are counterexamples, and they'll all tell you that the code was the easy part.
