Because specialization is vastly more efficient, productive, and I don't have an interest in cutting and laminating my own circuit boards. I can pay a tiny (relative to the alternative investment of DIY) to get multilayer boards in a day.
- alganet 1y agoYou're changing your argument. Before, you said people _can't_ (in general, anyone that knows how to code cannot possibly learn how circuits work). Now, you're saying that _you don't want to learn_. That's on you, buddy. Don't project your insecurities on the whole IT field. People can, and will, learn across many layers of abstraction.
- hluska 1y agoYou missed the point of that entire comment didn’t you?
- alganet 1y agoIf I did, people failed to explain why. I think I made an excellent counterpoint that is not against specialization, but complementary. This counterpoint is particularly important in an age where specialization is being oversold and mixed with snake oil.
- PickledChris 1y agoThat is because you are replying to two different people. People can learn across layers of abstraction, but specialisation is generally a good thing and creates wealth, a Scottish guy wrote a good book on it.
- alganet 1y agoThere are many industries that specialized but kept and refined old knowledge instead of repeating the same mistakes over and over. > That is because you are replying to two different people. He chose to follow the argument of the previous dude, so, it's all the same for me. Everything I said still applies.
- rtkwe 1y agoI don't know what raincole's meaning was but can't there doesn't have to be a permanent inability just a current one, IMO backed up by the next sentence about the people making circuit boards not knowing how to refine the raw materials into those that they use. That's what I took it as.
