> a growing storm of complexity that humanity increasingly depends on Yet real engineers ought to now that “An engineer has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but nothing left to take away”. ... or they never new and yet attempting engineering anyway? Growing portion of my life is spending time with the complexity of toolchain and work context, while my outcome diminishes in every sense, amount and importance. Pissing into the headwind and getting almost nothing to show for kind of feeling. More and more draws me towards the lifestyle of the rabbits (stopping somewhere in between though). Btw. financial selection is the way how society work on top of finite resources since ancient times. That's part of the game. ... saying so while I ferociously avoid competition steering into directions that circumnavigate the competing crowd, taking less busy alternative route. When available.

> financial selection is the way how society work on top of finite resources since ancient times I don't know where you get that from, but if anything it looks like there has never been a single society but many forms of organisation. I'd be even more careful with any reference to finance in that context. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything

Collaborative large human groups where division of labour is an intrinsic matter is referred simplisticly as society. No elaborated and complete study was the goal here to give complete picture of the matter but a short referral to the inherent competitive need, as part of the story.

The sentence I quoted from you implied that there is some universal form of society that retained the same traits throughout history, which seems false.

This has been one of the reasons moving to go has been a godsend. Don't get me wrong, the project is absolutely insane. There's an api with a gpu layer for raster transformation. But the build process is still: go build [-tag {project name}] .

> financial selection is the way how society work on top of finite resources since ancient times. That's part of the game. Agreed, not saying financial signals are not valuable, just that they bring new challenges that, like most things, lead to problems when obsessed over in lieu of what matters most. You can also develop problems by moving too slowly and fixing things that do not matter.
