Are you saying that economists aren’t interested in sustainable economies?
IANAE, but this sounds about as implausible as claiming that developers aren’t interested in building sustainable codebases
- gentleman11 2y agoDepends on the developer and on their organization they work for. Ideally, most do, but the pressures of work and the styles of project management sometimes sideline that, or the team ends up in survival mode where they merely try to stave off the inevitable spaghetti apocalypse

- Der_Einzige 2y agoJust for the record, no one in AI (the space where increasingly all of code is moving to) cares about building "sustainable codebases". Worst code quality: AI devs Best code quality: Game devs
- pmarreck 2y ago> Game devs LOL I just read something yesterday (possibly a tweet by Carmack?) that game devs optimize for public perception of their game and that is it. Certainly not long term maintainability unfortunately!
- harimau777 2y agoThe VAST majority of developers I've encountered aren't interested in building sustainable codebases. Mainly that's because that's not what their bosses want so it's in their best interest not to care about it. I could see the same happening if the economist's bosses don't care about sustainable economies.
