Do none of these engineers watch black mirror? I feel like it should be recommended watching for all engineers to see how simple nice ideas can rapidly turn dystopian. I wish it was still in active production
- Syonyk 4y agoI have no idea. The problem is that I think a lot would watch it, go "Yeah, that was bad, but I can think of a simple tweak that will make it amazing!" and then go deploy with "one quick tweak" and discover that, no, it's not that the idea was implemented wrong, it's that the idea is wrong. There's a weird refusal to consider human nature in the tech industry anymore - unless you're exploiting it to sell more ads.
