We use culture now.

“Culture is just the way things are done around here”

Peer review is culture. Work place legislation is culture.

The article argues that trying to extract technology and reapply it, without the culture, is a fools errand.

It’s trivially true: you can’t just teach some people to code and expect them release an app that can scale to millions of users. It requires culture to function and deliver.

We need to understand the culture required to deliver the technology, not just the technology itself.

I for one would be very interested to hear about how different types of labour organisation were required to deliver their water.
