This reminds me of a comic by Randall Munroe from his much-loved series xkcd. In it, one stick figure is directing the work of another, presumably a programmer, who is sitting in front of a computer. “When a user takes a photo,” the standing figure says, “the app should check whether they’re in a national park.” The programmer replies, “Sure, easy GIS lookup. Gimme a few hours.” The other continues, “And check whether the photo is of a bird.” “I’ll need a research team and five years,”
