🥱 Wow, Clay Shirky is back with a riveting tale from 2004 about how software can be, wait for it, "situated"—truly groundbreaking stuff from the days when dial-up was still a thing. 🤯 Who would've thought that the real innovation is to build software for specific contexts? Certainly not the rest of the world that's been doing it since, well, forever. 🙄

"We've always had a tension between enterprise design practices and a 'small pieces, loosely joined' way of making software... The advantages to the latter are in part described in Worse is Better and The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Situated software is in the small pieces category, with the following additional characteristic -- it is designed for use by a specific social group, rather than for a generic set of 'users'."
