Is the cost really that high? For the vast majority of projects, all developers will need to do is run "yarn prettier". We can't expect everything to be perfect on day one, nor should we be stuck with the poor choices we made

"almost complete bullshit" is a bit strong. i've read both the book and the Guzey piece and i think the most substantial insight in his rebuttal is that oversleeping can increase mortality risk, otherwise it seems like a lot

That's not 7M vehicles concurrently though. At any given time maybe there are a few hundred thousand trips happening. With self-driving cars utilization can go way up since they're not tied to a human. and. So I imagine Goog/
