This algebra doesn’t hold and the modals used are wrong.
You can certainly build software that has a business purpose. Or not. I build useless software all the time, to learn. So the modal matters. I can build useless software. I can build useful software. Whether I should or shouldn’t is up to me.
As for the rest, it’s a shakeup algebra. His inequalities don’t make sense in an academic environment for instance. But maybe that academic software then becomes open source and suddenly it’s huge! But at no point were he biz inequalities used.
It’s a piece written from the environment of what looks to be private industry so maybe those algebras hold up better there.
Also, the whole ops inequality made me laugh. If only this were true.
