(My colleagues who don’t have Ph. D. degrees, looking at me) Spiky domain knowledge of a few hyper technical subjects, but abject lack of common sense and a maddening lack of flexibility when communication is somehow imprecise or informal? Haven’t computers had that since the 80s?

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .
