if tech treated tech like government, it would have mocked computing relentlessly for crashing so much and sent its own industry to the wood chipper. manual typewriters would be a token of a vigorous masculinity.

@interfluidity Tech tolerates a level of sloppiness and incompetence (the CrowdStrike incident, the constant Google Chrome performance issues, etc.) that no other field that calls its basic practitioners “engineers” could ever get away with.
