Progress in software and organizational design is like progress in the Kama
Sutra:
we've tried all of the positions, some more than once,
some we enjoy and some hurt because we aren't flexible
enough, and yet we keep the book open next to the
night light.
Our's is a pop culture. That's why Bo Bice is winning.
Alan Kay points out an interesting bit of data: Moore's
Law gave us approximately a 40,000 to 60,000 increase
in processor speeds while CPU architecture only gave us
about a 50 increase therefore wasting about 1000% of Moore's
Law on expedient architectures.

And so it goes.
