Do you think Alan Kay was incentivised by money to do all the stuff he talked about in this video?
- minthd 12y agoOK - so alan kay did working on creating this great system. Is there any knowledge from it used in a practical application today ? Probably no, because a.It's probably too soon. b.It often takes boring work(and money) to transfer pure ideas to successful practical applications.
- perfunctory 12y agowe were talking about insentives for innovation, not insentives for boring work. I agree that boring work should be insentivised by money.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoI'd be interesting in going the course of: boring work should be eliminated through automation or obsolescence.
