It may seem strange that we have gone through two complete segments dealing with Moore’s Law only in an expository manner-like Lincoln’s Gettysburg address;simply invoking it’s name is sufficient to convey gravitas as to the mythical origin of the Union.

  It would be an injustice to try to generalize or sum up all the nuances and  tributaries of Graeber’s work in these two volumes with a few bon mots, but a handful of points particularly relevant to software engineering  are gone into at some length(convincingly):  From The Utopia of Rules “As whole societies have come […]
