> And probably none of them knows how to grow and fertilize the crop to feed themselves. As a farmer and software developer, with a electronics hobby (and it being a part of the job of being a farming these days), I can check off growing crops, op-amp circuits, and Kubernetes deployments. I don't own, or have reasonable access to, the necessary capital for laminating circuit boards and synthesizing minerals. > No one knows everything. But, really, access to capital is the real limiting factor. Getting to know something isn't usually all that difficult in and of itself, but if you have no way to do it then you're never going to get to know it. Collaboration is less important to efficiency than optimizing use of capital. Its just that we don't have many good ideas about how to optimize use of capital without also introducing collaboration.
