I wish that a significant portion of people today held the tech industry to such high standards.
Imagine the progress we would have made if our industry was forced into making sure that tech is extremely reliable and highly functional.
Instead, we get half baked broken things with all notions of quality and craftsmanship completely abandoned to make room for fast iterations.
- toast0 6y ago> Imagine the progress we would have made if our industry was forced into making sure that tech is extremely reliable and highly functional. Do you remember the progress of landlines? In 2000 (and beyond), some people were still paying extra per month for touchtone dialing. Extreme reliability comes at a large cost. If everything had to be reliablr before it was released, we'd have a lot fewer things to try, and a harder time deciding what we liked. By shipping half broken stuff all the time, we can figure out what we like, and then make it reliable if it's warranted, or throw it away if that's the right choice.
