<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I've worked with engineers, and there's always someone who promises we can make it 10 times as light, 10 times as efficient, save 10 times the cost, and do so at no additional safety risk. And then there's the guy who urges caution. And do you know who management listens to? When things don't turn out, and perhaps someone dies, do you know what happens to that engineer who just tells everyone what they want to hear? Squat. There's always someone willing to promise anything.</p>
