One of my not-so-subtle goals is raising the status of infrastructure work, because it does not by default get the allocation of people’s time and talent that it likely deserves given importance to society. t.co/vTFN3hLg2U

This goes for financial infrastructure, literal plumbing, transportation, etc etc we find ourselves blessed by a patrimony of systems which worked ~reasonably well and seem underprepared regarding that not being default state of nature unless we keep building the things.
