Apologies, but in my experience in the IT realm, I find this hope to be so naive as to be dangerous.
The possible silver lining is that there still exist millions of good problems to solve. But never ever expect solutions to be self-evident.
- chrsig 4y agoI certainly understand why you think it's naive -- I even think it's naive, and it's my hope. I don't understand how it's dangerous though, would you mind expanding on that? > But never ever expect solutions to be self-evident. I certainly don't _expect_ anything. I just hope that there are products out there that don't need sleazy sales tactics, and let the product show it's worth hope != expectation. i expect to live a life with no shortage of disappointment ;)
- jrm4 4y agoDangerous may be an overstatement, but maybe not: I think what I was really trying to say was something along the lines of: In my opinion, right now in IT, "laypeople" don't have a good understanding of how bad things are in many respects, and how much better they could be in others. Moreover, there are a lot of effective "salespeople" in this space, and all this adds up to what I believe is a huge gap in perception and reality here. So the last thing I want is more belief that great IT comes along and saves us?
