Bullshit Jobs
- suprjami 4y agoGraeber says that software maintenance is a "bullshit job" because it would be more efficient to just write bug-free software to begin with. Yeah thanks genius, why didn't we think of that. He also explored the idea of "bullshit jobs" in a 2013 essay, then expanded on it over various more lectures and writing, then finally in a 2018 book. But David, surely it would have been more efficient to just write the complete book from the start? I guess being an "economic anthropologist" is also a bullshit job.
