The cost of bad takes

This article examines the phenomenon of making bold, often incorrect, predictions about technology (like 'no programmers in 5 years') on social media. It argues there is no reputational cost for being wrong, but a high reward for being right, which incentivizes a volume-based approach to tech commentary over careful, conservative analysis.
