The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

@hazelweakly The third hardest is I presume then to get people in tech to understand that 90% of all ‘technical’ problems are instead socio-political ones and that neither political nor social problems have technical solutions?

@dequbed @hazelweakly a lot of people in tech would do well to realize that they’re essentially plumbers and bricklayers, working for a few rich landlords.

@slothrop @hazelweakly and both parts of that. Tech people are *just* plumbers and bricklayers. They help build infrastructure but they're no better than a bricklayer building a bridge.

@dequbed @slothrop @hazelweakly ...which leads to looking back at the bridges you've built, and hoping they've been used more by good people to do good things, than by any other kind. But also being afraid to look.
