Interesting read.
I'm sympathetic to the driving narrative, and love to point fingers as
much as the next person, but doesn't this article generalize and
speculate way too much about a) what engineering is; which I would
counter-argue is a creative practice full of fuzzy thresholds, complex

nature of the internet to be
centralized by commercial parties? Or, more importantly why did the
well-funded academic engineers and computer scientists loose interest in the
research? Is the problem of the internet solved already?

Reproducibility is one of the cornerstones of science. Made popular by
British scientist Robert Boyle in the 1660s, the idea is that a
discovery should be reproducible before being accepted as scien

accept the usage of google's open source artifacts, of which there are
many, as a trade-off to more easily develop applications? Is there a
way of talking about these issues that simultaneously respects the
