| Aug 11 at 9:42 | comment | added | Steve | @ScottRowe, I get the Henry Ford reference, that consumers aren't the experts on how to design products which solve their problems. But how does that apply here? | |
| Aug 10 at 22:50 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | @Steve "If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have said 'nicer capitalists'." | |
| Aug 10 at 21:53 | comment | added | Steve | @ScottRowe, many things were better when computer programmers weren't involved, or more importantly when capitalist managers did not have at their disposal cheap computer machinery, cheap energy for such machinery, and cheap, amateur computer programmers to half control them. The point is that the length of the working week has never been determined by economic necessity, but by the maximum amount of work the ruling class can coerce to be done. | |
| Aug 10 at 20:51 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | @Steve if programmers ran things, they would be a lot better, eh? They might well get their chance. "Until you stretch out your wings, you never know how far you can walk." | |
| Aug 10 at 19:42 | comment | added | Steve | @ScottRowe, the computer age has, so far, only enabled a sprawling inefficiency in business administration (including the balkanisation of the activities of large corporations) and duplication of developer effort. We already could have shorter working weeks - in fact, work weeks were already shorter under feudalism. | |
| Aug 9 at 17:26 | comment | added | Scott Rowe | And if it does, we can have shorter workweeks. It seems like as lower level tasks and knowledge are "hollowed out", we'll somehow have to get to the higher level knowledge directly. I'm not sure how we can do that, but maybe. Otherwise we'll have good code and terrible systems. | |
