In many practical fields of research, the focus is not on stability, safety and foresight, but on feasibility, hoped-for future opportunities and financial viability.
This applies in particular, but not only, to the paradigms of program development. However, these can be taken pars pro toto
- Security? Too expensive and time-consuming!
- Stability? The customer / user informs us if something is not working!
- Future-proof? In times when only the new counts, the old can no longer be supported
- New functions? Of course. As fast as the Internet lines transmit the data.
Decisions on the global implementation or introduction of new technologies/research findings are not madeon the basis of risk-conservative standards of systemic equilibrium, but on the basis of the pursuit of short-term advantage.
The list of disasters is not limited to those triggers that underlie the above principle, but also includes those that do.
Financial feasibility and actual feasibility are sometimes mutually exclusive. More on this later in this blog.
