Innovation Looks Like Chaos
Welcome back to Break, a Fallthrough aftershow! Kris, Matt, and Steve pick up where the main episode left off, asking whether copyright actually matters to working developers. Kris draws parallels to the U.S. tax system as an example of messy-but-functional policy, Matt vents about the frantic pace of AI "standards" like MCP and agents.md, and Kris argues that ossification is worse than chaos by pointing to TCP and Von Neumann architecture as cautionary tales of things that got locked in and never changed.
