What's "capitalism" in this context, and what's its actual connection to software development practices? What are "forms of efficiency" and "forms of value", and how does complexity "unlock" them?
- acedTrex 4y agoCapitalism is a company that is attempting to solve X problem or do Y thing etc. Forms of efficiency are "how fast can they solve that problem". And complexity doesn't unlock anything. It's just inherent in the problem space a company takes on.
- kuramitropolis 4y ago>Capitalism is a company that is attempting to solve X problem or do Y thing etc So basically any organized human activity is now "capitalism"? >Forms of efficiency are "how fast can they solve that problem" From which follows that "new forms of efficiency" means that previously it didn't matter how fast they can solve that problem, but now, due to "moving further out on the software complexity curve", it has begun to matter? >And complexity doesn't unlock anything. Then what is meant by "moving further out on the software complexity curve unlocks new forms of efficiency"?
