You frame a problem in a context, or a time frame, or a motivation and you can argue whatever point you want.
All predictions about the future are by definition opinion.
- dschobel 17y agoWe're talking about methodology though. Something which is very meaningful in an engineering context but, and this is purely my opinion here, significantly less so in the business world. There is, for example, a best way to build a bridge. I'm not so sure there is a best way to build a company.
- btilly 17y agoIf there is a single best way to build a bridge, then why do we have so many different types of bridges being built? There are many different good ways to build bridges, with trade-offs between them, and knowing about them lets engineers to pick the best way to build a particular bridge.
- derefr 17y agoI do believe that was what the parent said. There's no best bridge (or, say, best hash data structure), but there is a best procedure to create a given one.
