We don't know what to build unless we empathize with the people using the software. We feel what they feel, influenced by a lifetime of art we have experienced, and make a decision about what would be best for the person using the softwar…
It's fitting that the software industry, which famously undervalues the relational work, empathy, and compassion that is actually an integral part of software development, would become convinced that a statistical engine could be a viable …
