- plesn 17y agoIf there were programmer companies that would be putting those farmers into bad situation by using there monopolies in order to tax them or to misuse their data or to put chips in there heads, they would ;-) We hopefully not always listen to "experts" and we care about what happens around us.
- davidmathers 17y agoBad analogy. The right analogy would be computer manufacturers and farmers saying they want to buy computers that are manufactured in a sustainable manner and aren't causing significant environmental damage. I'm down with that.
- rdrimmie 17y agoBecause we're in a forum full of IT people, not farmers. I guarantee you there are places (on the Internet and in real life) where farmers are talking about the flaws of any number of software and hardware. This just isn't one of them.
- jrockway 17y agoBecause programming best practices don't really affect farmers, but not having food or a planet to live on does affect programmers.
- pragmatic 17y agoWhat about GPS and other devices used directly by farmers. Do you have any idea how much hardware/software goes into modern ag equipment?
