This knowledge event horizon is bound to stay around the current position for as long as our primary medium for information is text/video/sound (i.e. linear). When you google for some programming story you typically look for a story that describes how to combine concept A, B, C and maybe F. The more concepts you add the likelyhood of somebody having described a good implementation story for the combination of those concepts goes down. But you don't need to add many such concepts before the number of potential stories become very large. So for any non trivial number of concepts a blog article is not likely to exist. We could only really change the game by going from text representation to intelligent representations. Rules or general AI. However, my main surprise in all this: why do we need this many combinations of concepts in the first place? Why isn't the total domain of things that are interesting to do for utilitarian reasons more limited in size?
