And this is exactly how we get to Elon Musk creating a constitutional crisis.
Complacency. Complacency with Tesla servitizing the automobile. Complacency with someone doing a Sieg Heil... Twice... on national television.
Maybe if you don't take the first leap, you won't be in the position that so many Tesla owners are in now. "I didn't know he was crazy!"
Well maybe you should have. Maybe you should have read all the signs and seen all the writing on the wall and listened to all the enthusiasts and experts who warned you.
- bdcravens 2y agoObviously this carries the risk of creating an incredibly off-topic thread, but usually they "I didn't know" excuse is the result of being unwilling to see red flags for what they are. In Elon's case, his angry narcissistic nature was obvious years ago (like his 2018 "pedo boy" tweet). Of course, "red flags" can be abused and become premature optimization, so sometimes you have to have your foot on the accelerator but not forget where the brake pedal is. Relating this back to technology and hosting, we have to maintain strong fundamentals while we use abstractions and building blocks. I'm "old" in technology years (48) but I'm seeing a lot of mid-level to "senior" developers who barely understand the basics of SQL or operating systems.
