The Quaker alternative to “move fast and break things”
“When it comes to tech, billions of lines of code have been open-sourced. The same cannot be said of the decisions that led up to them. What might a Github for choices and insights look like? How much better would actors act if they knew others could see — and how much more would we trust if people could see the inner workings of why, not just how, technology works as it does?
Tech may not have a higher power on its side, but big businesses and social good startups alike tend to be organised around a common cause. Could the things that work for Quakers, the clear processes and citations, be a more humane (and better trusted) alternative to ‘move fast and break things’?”
