   Maybe tech should just not be as big and globalized. Maybe it shouldn’t be assumed to respond to issues as fast as humanly possible. But it is. And yeah, anyone who has ever worked on a call center or tech support probably understands at least some of the issues with relying solely on user reports.

   I feel the levels of complexity at which society work these days makes collecting data about program behavior harder and harder to avoid. I hope I can somehow get away with not tracking if I ever work on software that makes it big.

     In case you wonder, I haven’t talked about the Go drama until now because I don’t know what data is collected, but I sure know it’s often something irreplaceable when you’re building tech for millions or even billions. Not like I want to trust Google (or e.g. Microsoft with .NET) on this one, but others like Mozilla have their reasons to do it and be as open and transparent about it as possible.
