There is an urgent need to change our ‘either-or’ ways of thinking and replace it with the ‘and’ way of collaboration. Why?
We are stepping into the age of generalisation, which demands that we discard all remnants of mechanistic thinking.
Generalists do not look at things through an ‘either-or’ lens, they use many ‘and’ lenses...
The good part is that they naturally see value in collaborating with the specialists instead of feeling threatened by their own lack of ‘deep’ expertise.

Why We Can’t Build A ‘Team’ Of Machines

am not about to apologise for predicting that we are at the edge of an era and will soon have to shed the cocoon of the Industrial Age. Many of us have sensed it and have started to be worried about the future of Indian I. Our fears are not unfounded and our clarion call for change is not without reason.
Teorem #1:
We are stepping into the age of generalisation, which demands that we discard all remnants of mechanistic thinking.
I believe there might be a handful of people who agree with my speculation but something tells me that the majority would be sceptical, if not downright derisive. Let me feed the cynicism by saying that the majority will actually be indifferent either which way. I have been thinking about what it is that leads me to believe that we are still stuck in the mass-production scheme of things and the one thing that always jumps out at me is that, ostensibly, men still operate machines to build things—even software. So why, you might ask, is there a call for change. What is so different now, especially in the software industry (see, we even call it an industry), that ought to be done differently from the way we produce physical products? So here’s the argument. First of all, I have not been able to grasp the concept of a ‘
team of machines
’. Imagine if I had a production line comprising a series of machines operated by skilled
