  • When you democratize something, you lower the quality bar of what's acceptable.
    • You lower the bar, and now you get more things... but most are crap.
    • There are some that were previously below the bar that are now viable that are great.
    • You want the new great things to bubble to the top, which requires a ranking or social sifting process.
    • This process happened with social media for discourse.
    • It will happen with vibe coding for engineering.
