"Everyone who reads HN probably has enough leverage to set boundaries."
I'm reading this at work while installing windows updates on a desktop PC for a client, don't be so sure.

And if it doesn't it's your fault and not theirs. Being a scapegoat can be very profitable. How does the saying go again? Nobody ever got fired fot buying IBM? Something like that. Being the scapegoat is a valuable service if you do it well.
