@jeffowski Well, yeah. That's the whole point of software since "Expert Systems;" to crystallize expertise, alienating it from experts. Then the experts can retire, and the next generation can develop novel expertise.
Why, has something gone wrong?
@gavmor @jeffowski Yes. We have yet to design a single, working expert system.
@enoch_exe_inc @jeffowski But we have, arguably, designed working software by other means.
@gavmor @jeffowski For 1.), the Experts helping crystalize the "Expert Systems" get paid to help do that work.
For 2.), they don't actually get to retire, as they're there to ensure that when it goes off the rails, they can point out it went off the rails, and figure out why.
