incredible to watch domain-bounded learned helplessness in action, especially with otherwise brilliant people
for ex. developers continuously insist on turning their brains off when it comes to infrastructure

gives me whiplash to watch these dudes go from putting out technically intricate and highly impressive design docs on complex domains
to asking me qs like "does 'storage autoscaling' mean the database will autoscale its storage"
pls. ur allowed to think about this, big brain

in conclusion this is why autists must be bullied, thank you for coming to my TED talk
