@johannab @Niall @ai6yr Yeah. In multiple spheres, I’m increasingly resigning myself to “people are going to have to learn it for themselves” mode — shifting focus from global prevention to local mitigation, away from trying to control others and toward protecting what’s already in my sphere of personal control. In my software consulting days, I often found myself trying to get companies not to hit themselves in the head with a hammer, but often it turned out to be best to just go ahead and let them do that and then ask “How’d that work out for you?” It’s painful to see in advance the needless damage, the waste, but sometimes it’s the only thing that works.
