The story of technology — and the software industry — is one of increasing speed and efficiency. A faster route to done.
And often, in the drive for efficiency, simplicity and speed we end up introducing unexpected complexity and new problems we hadn’t anticipated.
“But this emphasis on efficiency, shortened deadlines, increased speed, puts pressure on workers, increases stress and anxiety.”
It makes sense, then, that the software industry is interested in things that make life easier and more comfortable for the people that sustain it.
