I would like to register a prediction of futility here, just a little more detailed than the trope of "when you try to idiot proof something the universe always makes a better idiot."<p>The number of software systems I've seen designed to allow the clueless to bumble their way through operations is much higher than the number of companies I've seen that attempts to train better operators.<p>Maybe its the experience of working on tractors, where the PTO has fun side effects like "degloving" where, sure theres a guard but more importantly theres attention not to put your hand, hair or clothing near the spinning torque monster of doom. Theres no option to make that purely safe economically. Same goes for machine tools and other heavy equipment. The people who work around such things have been to my experience more capable at accomplishing difficult, diverse tasks.<p>Where was the last company that had anything equivalent to the lowly "forklift certified" for prod? Its a very rare shop I've seen invest in any sort of across the board training for command line skills, outages, pre-requirements for delicate operations. We don't invest in people being better, being more capable. I think because we have internalized an owner/management point of view that workers are fungible and training is a waste, while software system guards are investments.<p>As a worker, I don't agree with that. I don't agree with building systems to be powered by the lowest educated, lowest paid meat popsicles yet I think thats the strategy behind this.<p>Next time you go to build a system like this, consider who's logged into production and can they be trained to be more capable, more attentive operators. In the long run, I think it will end up with a better industry overall.
