The whole post is based on a questionable assumption that Domino Pizza Tracker accurately reflects the status of the Pizza, when it could just be a dumb timer based on a statistical average. Sure, the Pizza Delivery person in the last step has to be accurate, but that's simpler than tracking if the Pizza is in the oven. As for the point itself, I think the real-time status tracking is a very, very small subset of UIs. Yes, it's difficult to deliver if the organization isn't designed around this, but most sucky UIs aren't limited by not having the data.

- velcrovan 3y ago> it could just be a dumb timer based on a statistical average The post makes this point explicitly. It doesn’t sound like you read the whole thing.
