We can choose not to live in a throw-away society by first not treating our own work as throw-away.

I agree. But I also think that workflows like that of noduerme might be due to his own preferences as much as the needs of the customer. I am sure it is a good process, but it is also something that feels good for the developer himself. So there will be a drive to use it not for business reasons but for personal. Then it is not based on business needs.

The notion of intentionally making work harder and less productive as some sort of protest against society seems so bizarre and self defeating. No one else will even notice or care. There will be zero broader impact.

Yup. "The downfall of society begins with the individual."

most things don’t endure

greater chance something will if we take more swings

		I don't know about that. Too much is allowed to not endure. I don't want to push on that point too hard, because I get what you are saying: things that are worth something will persist. Still, it would be nice if we didn't have the ridiculous churn of stuff.. that does nothing but gather dust only to be thrown away.

		Fully disagree. First, I question the value of something merely enduring. But that aside, implicit in what you're saying here is that the "skill of the swing," so to speak, doesn't matter, whereas only the quantity of swings is what matters. Baseball players clearly negate this.
