It's kind of a hot take at this point, and in a vacuum what the person is saying is, if anything, laudable -- he's announcing his own subject matter ignorance/inexperience and making a go of it as an autodidact, etc. Humble!
But in the current context, this looks a lot like a lot of other, more famous attempts to disrupt or solve age-old, difficult problems using technology or software ... Problems that turn out to still be tough once the software-savior has put the solution on the market and absconded with the money. I think parts of society are starting to read a bit of arrogance in this approach after 20 years of big tech swallowing us whole.
- mulmen 6y agoI don't get it. The post says even the NERC regulations are insufficient to prevent this situation and that Texas (ERCOT) may have even higher standards. I don't see any suggestion that a tech company or even technology in general would solve this problem. Just an admitted non-expert pointing out that the current best practices to not adequately prepare for this situation.
- ptcrash 6y agoHaving read the article, I didn't see any suggestions towards a solution... just clarifying which regulations would have helped/stratified the problem. Why do you have an issue with a non-expert clarifying that he's not an expert? I prefer people call out their own ignorance as apposed to implying expertise they don't have.
