§40. About automation and bureaucracy

#automate #build

Guidelines must describe everything, and the answer to all inputs must always be either a number or a Boolean value.

The sustainability of any bureaucratic machine is ensured by a system of regulations and guidelines that is as complete and all-encompassing as possible. And they must be constantly improved. Especially in terms of the system’s response to unusual situations and crises.

At the same time, it should be remembered that regulations do not encourage innovation. Innovations require maximum freedom. Maximum freedom for innovation should be described by specific regulations.
