This flys in the face of how progress occurs. There’s a reason why movie theater seats are full leather reclinable with cup holders. It’s that absurd push for imagining ‘better’. Large systems in general are hard to refactor. Our impulse in tech is to always consider the refactor because we see how in other systems a refactor is impossible or takes blood (our governments and countries, institutions like education/healthcare). Those in tech have seen many systems to compare against (what went wrong, what went good, even on the most basic projects). The first thing they tell you about capitalism is that humans haven’t encountered a better system, which is true. Make that argument to a programmer. They either saw a shittier system, a better one, a more fitting one, a proper one, a terrible one, etc. You pretty much can’t tell us anything because we’ve seen it somewhere. Being content with systems is bad for all of us. Being content with your life is good for all of us.
