AKA the typical doomer non-solution. 'If we blow it up, somehow a new, better systems will magically emerge'.
If I went to management with the dev plan of 'throw all the source away, start over with a new stack, new devs, from scratch, but also I don't know what the new stack will be, and haven't found new devs' I would be called a moron. But if you are a conservative, it's somehow called rational policy and a plan and it's worth the lifetime lasting damage/potential deaths is will cause a shit ton of people and financial ruin it will cause many.
Edit: Throttled so replying by edit. In the example below, Steve Jobs LITERALLY had a stack in mind, a plan, and people/talent lined up.
- qcnguy 10mo agoUnless you were Steve Jobs in late 90s Apple, when in fact they did have to throw all the source away, start over with a new stack and new devs, with imported ideas, not exactly knowing what the outcome would be like. Then you wouldn't be a moron, you'd be hailed as a business genius (I mean NeXTStep->macOS). US healthcare is broken. Most attempts to fix it make it worse because they don't address the root causes. That doesn't mean everyone who points it out needs to present a 300 page plan for how to address it.
- _DeadFred_ 10mo agoSo other than Jobs having a plan, having a proven dev culture that he himself built up, having a production OS, he had nothing? Not everyone needs to have a 300 page plan, but the Steve Jobs/Politicians pushing to blow things up need to. Or in Job's case he started with way, way, more than just a 300 page plan.
- RickJWagner 10mo agoACA was supposed to be the solution. I think nobody believes that now. Healthcare is broken. It’s time to make things better, not patch the termite infected boat one more time. Remember the bold spirit of ‘we have to pass the bill to see what’s in it’? If you think ACA is better than what preceded it, then you favor bold steps.
- _DeadFred_ 10mo agoHow long have the Republicans said the ACA has to go, yet they don't even have the IDEA of a plan? There was an ACTUAL written ACA when the quote you use was said. There is ZERO actual written plan on the Republican side today. The comparison doesn't make sense. I favor logical progress. I don't favor 'blow it up so magic can do it's work'.
