People assume we are resourcefully improvising. No we’re not. Improvising is clever MacGyyverings with duct tape and paperclips. No. We’ve switched wholesale to videoconferencing, digital payments, delivery-based last mile, e-learning apps etc. Where did this shit come from?

So if this hypothesis is correct, the reboot problem is a tech problem: how to finish the unfinished stack that has been hot-swapped in? I think if the economic approach aims at this problem, it will “take” otherwise it will not, and trigger a secondary larger technology crisis.

I think the issue is optimization - a handful of priority tasks are running at 100% and screaming for more resources, despite producing much less output than before. It's a 'it compiles, I'll tweak it in the morning' setup kludged together that runs, but inefficiently.

The new stack is running an entirely different architecture than the old one it's trying to mimic. Those unfamiliar with it see recognizable outputs and assume the inner workings are the same, but they really aren't. It has an entirely different,*untested* structure.
