Graeber says that software maintenance is a "bullshit job" because it would be more efficient to just write bug-free software to begin with.
Yeah thanks genius, why didn't we think of that.
He also explored the idea of "bullshit jobs" in a 2013 essay, then expanded on it over various more lectures and writing, then finally in a 2018 book. But David, surely it would have been more efficient to just write the complete book from the start?
I guess being an "economic anthropologist" is also a bullshit job.
