The more relevant point is: do you refuse to work on some code or use a VCS on your code because of this complexity?

That was the GP's point. He acknowledged it's complex. But it's a very clear and very large amount of value left on the table, so people that gets scared away by it will probably practice other kinds of harmful behavior.

(Of course, the option of just using a simpler VCS doesn't tell anything bad about people. Why did we standardize on git again?)

I think we're being too abstract, and talking past each other a little maybe. Let's try a hypothetical.

You're VP of engineering. You do stuff like:

- Hire and manage middle managers

- Manage budgets

- Work with other VPs to determine the direction of the company

I'm an IC on an engineering team. I do stuff like:

- choose algorithms

- choose code structure

- make complexity/performance (and other) tradeoffs

It's entirely possible you don't know a programming language, in fact it's likely. It's entirely possible I have no idea how to manage a corporate budget, in fact it's also likely. It's also pretty likely we never encounter each other, unless our company is pretty small.

Are your decisions more consequential? Maybe. I definitely think your list is higher stakes than mine. But do my stuff hundreds of times a day, and my decisions build up in the aggregate. You can imagine tech debt piling up, or overengineering slowing down product features (threatening the company, maybe a client relationship).

Are there differences in accountability? Well, neither of us acts entirely unilaterally. You have to run your budgets by your manager (or be responsible for it at some point), I have my team and code review. While the stakes for your work are higher, there are probably stronger guard rails. For example, while it sort of seems like you could fire all of your managers, you probably can't in actuality. Over time your incompetence or malice could force them out, but similarly my incompetence or malice could threaten our product.

---

To bring this back into your framework of "aggregation points for responsibility", are you responsible for my work? I think the only way you would be is if corporate culture or policy made you responsible for my work; I don't think ethically you're responsible for my actions. (I want to carve a space out for knowledge, like if you know I'm doing something bad and you fail to act, then of course you're responsible, but this is because you're a human being, not because you're a VP of my department).

Actually I'd go further and say that this idea creates a lot of problems. For example, if I goof password storage and expose our users' personal information, what were you supposed to do to prevent this? You're not a software engineer, much less a software security specialist. Were you supposed to set up a chain of accountability and review? That's what code review is for.

Furthermore, this doesn't work the other way. If you mismanage the budget, I'm certainly not responsible. This isn't because you're "higher" up in the org chart than I am, it's because it's not my job to make sure you do your job well, that's your manager's job. I wouldn't have the expertise to judge, and the same goes for you.

My overarching argument here is that the idea of the hierarchy is very baked into our conception of work, at least in the US. We struggle to think of the workplace without it. But it's actually pretty weird, and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially in professional spaces.

With a centralized service I don’t need a law degree, I can quickly ask an expert what my rights are and understand an option, and there is a (limited and slow, but existant) method to make myself whole in the event of a problem.

I hope you’ll forgive me for being worried about trusting that with any significant sum of money.
Saying that Roe v Wade resulted in an era of increased polarization is completely sidelining the facts that

A) women we're suffering from the lack of the right at the time.

B) that churches and GOP actually drove the polarization, they chose to use it as a device to divide.

Good point, but also with FOSS licenses you can have incompatibilities if you take code distributed under a certain license and you use it into a project distributed under a different license. So I still think there is a double standard here.

Kotlin killed it, espceially with Google picking it for Android. I remember looking at it and it had some weird stuff and I liked Kotlin better, and Groovy was going strong.

Kotlin is a "better java" from a footgun/safety + syntax perspective, and better than Ceylon in most features and ways. So it won that war. And here is another bad idea, from Ceylon's wikipedia:

"Modularity built into the language, based on JBoss modules, interoperable with OSGi[10] and Maven[11]"

Yikes. Three very-obsolete parts of the java ecosystem, and divisive in the ecosystem community at the time of their introduction/use. Not a good strategy.

Groovy was a "better java" with lots of footguns and more-than-one-way and lots of cool features. So it won the scala/whomever war because it was a path for ruby and python people and paradigms. Most JVM evolution has been adopting groovy language features. Not that groovy did them in a revolutionary way, it just had them a lot earlier. But groovy is fading steadily as the JVM adopts its killer features. Groovy is my main programming language on the JVM.

Clojure has the inherent problems of Lisps for popularity, and Scala was possibly the most complicated language every designed. Great for the top 1% of programmers, but oh well for mainstream success.

There is definitely a level in between 'all my stuff is owned by coinbase' and 'all my stuff is owned by me, behind a private key I have to manage'. For example, there are non-custodial wallets where the wallet is still yours and can't be claimed or blocked by some third party that do have social recovery mechanisms that just require you to trust a few people in your life to cooperate to help you if you lose your wallet. I think these kinds of services are going to be very useful if crypto achieves wide adoption.

No it’s not. Case studies are usually retrospective. That’s not very practical when a language is in the design/implementation stages.

It is possible to present common problem scenarios and examples up front, even if something is at the idea stage.

It’s commonly done, and can be an effective way of conveying your ideas and getting feedback without pages on end of speculative requirements.
Why should the Supreme Court decide if a government agency has assumed power not granted to it by Congress? Congress still exists, and Congress can always pass a law kneecapping the agency in question.
There exactly is a product like that - the Behringer UV1. I'm guessing that they saw that streamers were buying the DBX 286 and an interface and decided to capitalize on that. Though to be honest all that processing could be done in software, even in OBS itself.

What I find sad is that Youtubers who aren't that popular are spending nearly a grand on a SM7B, a 286, a phantom preamp, and an interface for that "look". In reality, you could get similar sound with less than $200 (interface and handheld dynamic) and most viewers would not hear the difference.
The needs of these states are less important. They have fewer people, less productive capacity, less economic output, etc. They are lesser by every metric imaginable. In our nation's bread basket folks love to hold up agricultural achievement. Ironically California dominates that too [1].

Getting rid of the electoral college system in favor of popular vote isn't enough. A couple states drive the productive, agricultural, intellectual and economic engines of our country. In a meritocracy, these states would dictate federal policy. Instead they're subject to the capricious whims of deadbeats. Another way to put it: who really needs who?

> "It's not a business" sure, then wonder why companies are managing ever more properties and private renters prefer renting it through AirBnb

Managing an Airbnb is a business, it requires the flat to be cleaned and functioning and you are practically out of business after N bad reviews. Besides, I’d be surprised if you could make any money with an Airbnb in the UK more than 20 minutes away from Westminster.

> I think there are points in protection but not being able to evict a tenant because you want an apartment for yourself (and no, in practice it can take even as high as 5 years) is simply ridiculous

What is ridiculous, and I’m saying this as somebody who owns their home, is that families with children can be evicted with just 2 months of notice because they asked for repairs or because the landlord wants to test the market. This happens every day in the UK and the situation is so bad that even the current government had to acknowledge it.

It is just civilised that evicting somebody may require a lengthy process, depending on who this person is. Can a family with a disabled child find a new home in 6 weeks?
First: Scrum and Agile is not the same thing. I think most people who say they hate Agile just hate Scrum.

Agile (https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html) is not a formalized process or methodology. It is a set of simple principles:

- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

- Working software over comprehensive documentation

- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

- Responding to change over following a plan

These are pretty reasonable principles. Do they work? Better than what they were reacting against, which was the "specify and document everything in detail up front" methodologies.
I don't really understand the point being made here. Is it that high-end bespoke Apple hardware is faster than the equivalent commodity hardware? Or is the person trying to explain why the memory chips are integrated directly into the chipset (making them extremely fast at the expense of being not so easy to upgrade/replace)?
I find this argument very unconvincing.

To use an engineering analogy, if the government were a software application, this is very much like a senior engineer going on a major refactor of a production system, causing huge breaking changes for the sake of "principles", without consulting product, CS or QA. For the sake of argument, lets grant that there's some force to those principles. Is that justification for suddenly breaking a system that was working and causing a massive amount of confusion for downstream users that were blindsided and now have to do massive updates of their own?

Okay, now lets suppose that the same senior engineer was secretly (or perhaps even openly) beating the drum for some feature changes behind the scenes, and nobody liked the features he was proposing. Now after the refactor, it turns out that for "technical reasons" the features now work the way HE wanted them to. When asked, he claims it wasn't a political decision, it was driven purely by engineering concerns, "cleaning up tech debt" and so forth, he claims. Might it seem to you that the refactor was just a smokescreen for just getting the feature changes he wanted into production?

If this engineer was at your company, would you keep them on, or fire them as soon as possible?

Now according to your argument, you view SCOTUS as the engineering team, and Congress as the product team. You're saying that ten years after you release a feature, the technical lead can say "Hey, you remember that spec for those features we released to production 10 years ago? I think we did it wrong, we need to refactor it so it works right. Also that was the old engineering lead, and I never liked them anyway. It'll be a major breaking change, but that shouldn't be an obstacle to doing it right this time. Should we ask Product or the Executive team first? Of course not, we know what we're doing."
> so there's still a fine balancing act required to keep the masses generally consenting of the arrangement

Yes, this is the part where the government (state or federal) delivers value, such as education, healthcare, natsec, and generally facilitates the ability to do business via the court system. I think it’s disingenuous to make the argument you’re making without acknowledging the value that government provides.
