Additionally, as described, a lot of innovations which are not really incremental when viewed correctly will be recast as low-value incrementalism because folks who were in no way responsible for shipping them underestimate the complexity of doing so.

(I also fundamentally disagree with the value system which privileges Big Inventions over incremental innovation but will acknowledge that this aesthetic preference is not widely shared in the US, and convincing people to reshape their aesthetic preferences is a Hard Project.)

(Seriously the tech industry needs to fund a hundred Social Networks that glamorize e.g. factory line optimization, applied research, developer tool chain maintenance, etc. I am dead serious: there’s a number that makes the next Peter Parker drink Coke or be in network ops.)

Yes and! Reinventing existing things, even if technically true (which usually isn’t the case), is always interesting because of the context! It’s kind of like finding new mathematical proofs. It might be worse in some ways and better in others and increases our pool of options

I have no problems with innovations the make real improvements. I have a problem when they are distributed in a way the replaces existing systems wear workers have job security and laws protecting themselves and the public with contractors left in a legal wild west.

Actually working is innovation. Just snarking is brain flatulence.

Also context matters a lot. E.g., Yes, some ride sharing looks like a bus. But it’s dynamically routed, coordinating supply and demand better and potentially using capita more efficiently.

This is also why the “Tech is not working on the Next Big Thing anymore” narrative is hogwash. Tech never was, or always was and still is, depending if you’re pitching for investment or picking up your kids from daycare.
