The Culture Tent / Re: In the New Yorker...
« Last post by Jeff Wrangler on July 02, 2026, 05:08:53 pm »I finished Peter Hessler in the June 8 issue.
I presume he had a talk with his parents before the article was published.
You knew what was coming when he described the man putting his hand in Hessler's pocket.
Actually, what I liked best about the article was the quote from Thorstein Veblen:
"Always and everywhere, invention is the mother of necessity."
That encapsulates my feelings about updates in tech products (I guess Microsoft products particularly), I don't see software guys solving problems. I see a lot of tech bros sitting around, and somebody says, "Wouldn't it be neat if we could ... ?" So they all get to work developing something just because they can even though it's not needed, and when they've finished their invention, they come up with some reason why it was necessary to invent it. Invention is the mother of necessity.
