One of my deepest held beliefs:
The fact that, as web software practitioners, we’ve built a system which at any kind of scale (unnecessarily) requires a ratio of experts:newbies in the low single digits, is *the* major contributor to the widespread shortage of technical talent.

“One should have strong/weak opinions”
Not having opinions on things limits recall. What you’re ambivalent toward will escape your consciousness.
But landing on a positive/negative judgement is like a stop sign - it halts your train of thought with limited information.

@paulbiggar This line is pretty relevant here. As a manager, that’s a huge plus, a horizontal scale enabler and force multiplier. For a lot of engineers, I’d guess It’ll be seen as a sacrifice — something which holds people back from learning new skills and tools. https://t.co/x6LnuoLGoN

The biggest shift in my thinking since then is that I’m not entirely sure the backend version should be marketed at engineers. Engineers like complexity - this will be an incredibly strong, potentially immovable force. If something like this fails, I’d bet that’ll be a reason why

Most people don’t mind being manipulated at system 2, even if they’re ultimately aware of it. It occurred to me that people might dislike being manipulated at system 1 because it’s then obvious to others that they’ve been manipulated, and they look bad.

@mahemoff @benedictevans Get your point. Perhaps “real” was the wrong choice of term. Point was that excel was designed for numbers, as photoshop was designed for photography. And thus was/is very bad at what it ended up being used for.

@benedictevans Excel’s *real* use case is for numbers. That’s a long way from being unbundled by a web based product - too computationally heavy. Airtable is to excel what Sketch was to Photoshop - a replacement for a use case it was never really good at in the first place.
