Your crud app is 'advancing society'? Really?
- chrisseaton 5y agoUS companies are far more ambitious than that. I see large corporates in the US genuinely trying to solve real-world problems like car electrification, self-driving, space-exploration, etc.
- _Microft 5y ago> I see large corporates run by Elon Musk genuinely trying to solve real-world problems like car electrification, self-driving, space-exploration, etc. Fixed that for you. ;)
- iso1210 5y agoQuite. Musk is so unusual and venerated by many because he's different to the normal US billionaires who seem to want to squeeze the world and get new yachts. Bezos is doing blue original as a money sinking hobby. Ellison buys yachts and squeezes legacy companies (do new companies really choose to lock themselves into oracle?). Zuckerberg tries to control the worlds communication.
- nxc18 5y agoNot all of us have boring jobs. Geospatial intelligence is a severely underutilized technology (read: extreme growth potential). Remember the John Hopkins coronavirus dashboard making the rounds last year? You’ve probably had a use for the software that powered that.
- iso1210 5y ago> Remember the John Hopkins coronavirus dashboard making the rounds last year? No. I've seen good stuff from ft.com, ourworldindata, gov.uk -- all 3 are from the UK.
- axiosgunnar 5y agoYes. Software is eating the world, one CRUD app at a time.
