Few notes:
- from the first part of the article I feel a sort of hidden critic of automation and it's outcomes, well, while people should ALWAYS remember the Ironies of Automation by Lisanne Bainbridge [1] it's obvious that as much as we automate as less humans we need to do something and similarly that we loss diversity/leveling anything toward some "standard solutions". This is to be corrected with openness and experimentation, meaning investing more in research and development, with long terms goals, without managerial practices, not to be avoided trying to stop the history course;
- from the conclusion, well, I read only a simple point: to get works done companies need to know how to work, this it not much a single policy fault, it's the byproduct of modern universities and schools with their target to create replaceable useful idiots instead of technicians because they are more manageable. It's WAY TOO LATE to correct the course changing policies, we need SOME GENERATIONS growing in new-old schools whose target is forming Citizens not Ford model stereotypical workers and we should remember a thing very clear: intelligence alone is like an engine, useless without fuel/energy. It's easy to loose and very hard to make. So the actual situation can't be corrected quickly nor easily nor without an IMMENSE effort with a gazillion of false start and issue before reaching the goal.
