This guy knows how business works. If everybody think hard enough, software is not needed in lots of situation. The market is all about forced solution, probably plus some network effect, social value yada yada that keep it alive.

- Existenceblinks 5y agoNo, your example is daily infrastructure people already have. Maybe I say it too broad, there is layer of tool. You only need a few of them.
- arcturus17 5y ago> your example is daily infrastructure people already have Of daily infrastructure people already have, because someone dared turn it into software? > You only need a few of them. I guess we can keep email, but we should strip all the software layer from waste management plants, or the archiving systems of national libraries and museums, or the operating systems that support the browsers we're typing this from, or the avionics from passenger planes, or whatever you decide is the right number of software applications.
- Existenceblinks 5y ago> whatever you decide is the right number of software applications You hit right on the nail, so I don't generally disagree with you. This is how business works, there is no number! Consumerism works the same kind of way. [Shifted-goal] Also I don't want to stop or reduce it either, I just want more quality of software, not some VC-pipedream-hype driven software.
