That the user doesn't think in terms of there being people is not a good thing. Compare "sorry, our ticket machine is broken" to the impersonal "System malfunction, please retry". The impersonal version waves any re

That's like saying "in a native-based future we only need to security proof the OS". There's no free lunch, you always need to check both the sandbox layer and the application.

I'm not saying that those things don't exist, but that if you have no tools to measure them, then no practical consequences can follow from you trying to measure them. I don't see how the McNamara fallacy squares with the emp

This is classic victim blaming. RIAA not liking what users do caused RIAA to do user-hostile design, from which we're still suffering. Bad users, bad!

I do say the same about architecture, but with added nuance: the Sagrada Familia is creative in form, but not in function. It functions as a regular cathedral (or at least an art museum). The creativity is there, but it is subservient to th

I agree with the loss of understanding being a bad thing, but I cannot mourn the loss of creativity. Programming is a core part of our society and infrastructure, yet it's still one like a craft rather than engineering. Creativity shou

Only immortal cell lines that are integrated with your body are cancer. Given that you didn't cite any sources, I conclude that your fears stem from believing scary-sounding half-truths.

By this logic, we could decide to censor violence, religion, social media, subcultures, sugar, the study of chemistry, and perhaps coffeine. I don't think it's a blind spot. It's a deliberate decision not to be overprotective
