For me, this brings to mind a question I was asked once in an
interview. 'Have you ever recommended a non-software/computer solution
to a customer's problem?' This was asked with the knowledge that I
worked for a software development firm. Typically, by the time I am
involved in a project, multiple someones have already determined that
it is a good fit for our company, so a software solution makes sense.
But, the question did make me think a good bit about my bias towards
technology, and software specifically, as the solution to problems.
My company might not like it if I told a client that they really
didn't need our software. But if I was presented with a situation in
which I felt such was the case, it would be irresponsible not to bring
it to the attention of our project lead.
Best,
Jack

Form follows function -
that has been misunderstood.
Form and function should be one,
joined in a spiritual union.
