Doesn’t it feel that, since COVID, we keep hearing more and more about these colossal, systemic failures more frequently? It makes me concerned because it seems most assume that at least someone knows what’s going on. Whereas the reality is that almost no one, if anyone, actually knows what’s going on, and that we have fragile software systems “running” everything. And COVID seems to have been a real shot to the brow for many of these systems.
I just worry about what hell we’re creating. Software basically captures miscommunication and poor understanding and executes it.
