What if "good enough" is just reduces deaths/injuries by 99%? 90%?

People would still get hurt and die directly due to software that cannot be perfected, but the gains to society as a whole might be worth it.

Remote Worker: Alexa, how does today's t-shirt and pajamas ensemble compare to yesterday's t-shirt and pajamas ensemble?

Remote Worker: Given these two photos of me in different shirts, but the same pajamas, which is more in style, and which is a better fit for me, given my personal style?

No other book has had as large an impact on HOW I write code than Clean Code. My code today looks radically different from how it looked 3 years ago.

Thank you for your comments!

I haven't decided not to sell or give away my devices. I've given away or sold all of my previous devices as I've upgraded to new ones.

I'd totally support biodegradable personal technologies! I think I read an article about tech that may eventually support that just the past week. I really think that eventually new models of AR tech may come out on a monthly or weekly basis, and by then we had better have biodegradable disposables.

Plus the panopticon of everyone else with access to the data. I think we'll be able to broadcast our recordings publicly, and if so then tools will exist to take advantage of all the data in the public broadcasts and then we'll all be able to look into each other's lives in an equal way. People who don't publicly broadcast may well be shunned.

I might be concerned if the only thing the random Glass wearer recorded was you walking your babies, but if that's a small part of his daily record, so what? Without Glass he would have seen you just the same.

I suppose I'm using a more broad definition of the word than you are. Also, notice that I'm not using the term Luddite. The wikipedia article on Neo-Luddism seems to agree with my definition as well.

Though I do see mature AR tech as something which certainly will put people out of some jobs if they refuse to embrace it.

If everyone is wearing cameras all the time with the video being constantly broadcast publicly to the internet, then we get some weird effects along with the loss of privacy. Things get even weirder when we apply interesting algorithms to the video feeds. Where is Bob? Where has Bob been all day? How honest is Bob? Is Bob someone you can do business with?

Society is going to change in ways I can't imagine. We live in interesting times.

Those are great questions, actually. We're all already very dependent on technology right now, so I don't see a problem with going even further. I'm a weirdo transhumanist though. :)

Thanks! :)

I take back my complaint. :)

I just finished the course.

Great job guys!

I'm having the same problem. Other people are complaining about this in their support forums.

Doesn't speak too highly of Code School in general.

The tutorial seems broken for me.

I'm at the point where you do a git checkout clean_up and then nothing at all happens. You just get the prompt back. If I try git status same thing.

I've reloaded the page multiple times, but same problem.

Maybe Code School needs to work out a few more bugs?
