What's special about tech, is that they have the means to take it to another level because they are very capable to collect and analyse data and quickly deploy changes and almost never face the consequences. Low touch high scale is the name of the game and they are completely disconnected from the people impacted. 10K people losing their children's baby photos is just a blimp in the analytics and its "fixable" by an apology tweet, they will never understand the pain those impacted will suffer because they don't have a contact with the customer besides some charts.
- robertlagrant 4y ago> Did I say that tech is the only one doing it? It seems so, although possibly you did it accidentally. When you say "if tech controlled hospitals then it'd do it this way" then you're definitely attributing this mindset to "tech" people, rather to any people who address customer populations in the millions.
- mrtksn 4y agoI'm definitely attributing that mindset to "tech" people but I don't say it's exclusive to them.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI think it's reasonable for a reader to assume that if you're making a category error (I've seen some people I call "tech people" do this, therefore all "tech" people do this), you aren't being sophisticated about your categories, and that you are attributing it exclusively. A correct (and not exclusive to tech people) mindset would be "some people think like this. Some of those people work in tech." And you'd be right. Others work in the NHS, to decide what medicines get paid for for the most good.
