"This is the history of the twentieth century"

O que escrevo aqui há mais de uma década sobre Mongo e o seu paradigma de produção, (por exemplo aqui "Flexigurança, fiscalidade e competitividade")

E o que Seth Godin escreveu ontem em "Working in a studio":

"The boss in a factory relies on compliance. More compliance leads to more profits. Do what you’re told, faster and cheaper, repeat.
.
This is the history of the twentieth century.
.
The studio, on the other hand, is about initiative. Creativity, sure, but mostly the initiative to make a new thing, a better thing, a process that leads to better.
.
It’s peer to peer. The hierarchy is mostly gone, because the tasks can be outsourced. So all that’s left is leadership.
...
You can tell a studio and factory apart in about three minutes. Where do you work?"

Mas já não estamos no século XX.

Estão a ver a relação com os que pensam que a automatização vai resolver tudo... que o mote do século XXI passará por "Do what you’re told, faster and cheaper, repeat."?
