I have no problem with enhancing our lives thru technology, but seeking eternal life in this universe is incredibly stupid because you're effectively seeking eternal damnation. Eventually someone captures you, locks you away and tortur

To the first question: By "dependencies kill teams" I mean all the forms of dependencies: Database dependencies, web service dependencies, library dependencies, across teams, across organizations, and so on. Arguably internal depe
