    Lookout everyone, big brain here has it all figured out. Don’t need any more engineers with their fancy words.

      An engineer made the oceangate sub. Worked out pretty well for him. Right up until it didn’t.

          Know people that worked with him, can confirm.

          “Move fast and break things” Startup mindset is dangerous when taking your customers into potentially hostile environments. If only Michael Crichton had warned us about that decades ago.

          Fuckwit was an actual engineer, but go ahead and tell me again how all the bad engineers are “fake” wannabes and all the “real” actual engineers are perfect little angels that never did anything wrong.

            One engineer being a dipshit doesn’t invalidate the entire discipline. Especially when said engineer went to an ivy league school where a degree says more about you parent’s bank account than your actual ability
