These sort of meaningless doctrinal tenets masquerading as philosophy are spouted by [men] who need to make it look as though their business success has some deeper meaning than luck. When in fact their success far exceeds the scope of their intellects.
actually yes, you try your hardest to break it, and when you do, you change it to make sure no one else does it the same way, and rinse and repeat indefinitely, or at least, until you, or the company you're working for, decide(s) to end support for that software
Okay, 1. Technically it is, because now that that flaw is discovered it's always gonna exist in that version of the software, so that version is perma-broken now, 2. That's not what the person that said that's how software is made, implied, and their words should not be taken literally
Someone in the Theranos documentary commented that this attitude is fine when you're making an app, but it quickly turns disastrous when applied to anything that needs to actually work or people die.
I've been saying that for a while now.
They talk to the republicans like the gop are toddlers who won't take their nap.
We need more people like AOC and Jasmine Crockett to stand up.
They have more power than most of the people that this administration is terrorizing every single day. So I understand they’re afraid but their job is to represent us and to serve the people of this country. They are failing to do their job.
That behavior is fine for a bunch of 20something nerds at some startup office trying to figure out how to make money out of nothing in a niche business.
It’s another thing when applied to the federal government that 99% of Americans rely on.
Musk said that sometimes "DOGE" will make mistakes, but they'll fix them, so there's no need to worry. These hubristic, willfully-ignorant people are treating people's lives like a video game. People can't really respawn. IRL, some things that are broken cannot be fixed.
And also have never imagined a scenario in which something once broken is just gone.
Probably not related that these are people who are exceedingly bad at being divorced
So tired of "fail fast, fail often" without "fail early, fail cheap". Otherwise it's indistinguishable from "we don't know what the fuck we're doing, so we're just going to do whatever the fuck".
Silicon Valley “first principles” jackasses: “Software means never having to say you’re sorry. Except when you have to say sorry even when you eff up software. If we apply that to hardware, real life, at scale…we have to say you’re sorry a lot, actually. Look over there! A QR code!”
My mom was an anti-nuclear activist and often tell the story of hearing a scientist who’d developed weapons answer a question about the problems with cleanup. “We never really thought about that.”
She chalks it up to them all being men. Cleaning up wasn’t the midcentury dude’s lookout.
That's exactly right. "Move fast and break things" is the kind of idea that comes straight out of the CEO/owner class of people who have never worked a job with actual hard deliverables you had to do yourself and couldn't delegate to reports, and the accountability for those deliverables.

It's over due.
I've spent too many years being a s̶y̶s̶A̶d̶m̶i̶n̶ Internet Janitor cleaning up other people's messes.
Not when it’s your federal government.

It’s time to move fast and start breaking sh-t 🐾🐾
