@jenniferplusplus this is maybe more what i'm reacting to. don't dismiss this stuff too quickly and bathe yourself in false comfort. If you are working on software, there's a reasonable chance these things can do a significant chunk of your job better than you. That they can't necessarily do it all, or do so for an extravagant amount of resources doesn't change that. I also don't want to sound contrarian, I know I might be a bit too autistic in my communication style (and I'm just as frustrated and anxious and exhausted like the rest of us).

@mnl when a mafia boss walks into a shop and talks about how much of a shame it would be if something happened to the place, that's also not an empty threat. That's the whole point. You can choose to pay them off, or not. What you absolutely do not do is run to all of your neighbors and redeliver the same threat
