Judging by the rate at which every commercial piece of technology that exists gets enshitified nowadays, I don't think they should be the ones building the modern world either.
I think it was a typo. I put the “i” back in.
Arguably, they have ruined it.
Someone ask if those fucks wanna see how much of the modern world was actually built by China? Wanna let them run it instead?
We're going to discover that "move fast and break stuff" wasn't even truly a strategy that worked to build success in Silicon Valley for anything other than extracting investor money.
I don't know, I think by their stated goals they did alright. They took investor money, yes, but they used it to move very quickly and break a lot of things. Now, we should probably have seen ahead of time that this was actually a bad thing and that breaking things is a bad goal, but it was the 2000s and we all thought touchscreen digital watches were pretty neat.
