@coderanger "Not everything scales, should scale or needs to scale." - Douglas Rushkoff
Maybe we don't need scalable ecosystems, or software that everyone in the world can contribute to, leading to everything being millions of lines of code that nobody understands fully.
Small software built by small teams is sounding better and better every day.
The idea that scaling is always good, the criterion for success, is what gives us proposals for a million satellites in orbit.
I'm moving more and more away from "I'll run your software unless I learn it's bad or you're a Nazi" and more towards "You have to prove you're worthy of my trust before I run your code on my machine".
