That's quite an interesting way of framing it, I've never considered whether or not software has a "you shouldn't mix your micro- and macroeconomics" problem or not.
Is your conclusion that they are the same at scale based on gut feeling/experience (which I don't mean in a dismissive way, experience is a valuable source of insight) or do you have some concrete examples to elaborate why you think that?
- bjourne 5y agoIt's just my gut feeling based on experience. I have never seen software problems that are fundamentally different on the macro scale from the micro scale. I have never met anyone who was great at debugging segfaults in C code that was not also an amazing architect. I have never met a great architect that wasn't also amazing at debugging segfaults. To me software development is like math and there is no material difference between "high-level" math and "low-level" math.
