It's also interesting to consider the things that we are making that are destined to decline and die. They aren't agentless pieces of the environment, a company with $3,000,000,000,000 does not go quiet into the night. If you are

So your answer to "where did this complexity come from?" is to invent an even more complex celestial being that just did it. Creationists can't see the forest for the trees.

Lots of abstractions have an escape hatch down to the lower level, you can put assembly in your C code, most ORMs have some way to just run a query, etc. I think the question I have is, what benefit does this provide? Let's say we cou

This process is called pejoration (sometimes pejorativization). It is a fascinating linguistic phenomenon, but it makes sense if you think about it. People start using technical terms as a pejorative, so those technical terms over time bec

The terror is because companies want to maximize profits and a great way to do that is to minimize costs. If you have a team of X people producing Y pieces, and now X people can produce 10Y pieces, everything is fine as long as the demand f
