We build our computer systems the way we build our cities
twitter.comIt made me think about planned cities, in China, Malaysia, etc. Most of these are ghost cities, and it makes me think the first part of this quote is true in general
"We build our computer systems the way we build our cities; over time, without a plan, on top of ruins."
-- Ellen Ullman
"computers", not "computer systems".
?
It's a misquote. Ellen Ullman writes "computers" in her book.
