Humanist IT
How do we get there from here?
IT is broken. It’s not working, to the point where people are ready to give it up, just like they would a mangled hammer. I think the brokenness is rooted in a lack of humanism: it doesn’t work for people; it uses people towards the builders’ ends. It’s also more complicated than that, which I parse through while also giving a clue about how to get out of being stuck.
I freaking love information. If we don’t pull this back — if we don’t start offering nodes where it works again, showing through juxtaposition that the brokenness is a product of decisions rather than fundamentally bad tools — we lose IT. It is an act of hope.
