<p>What relevance does that have to this discussion of the executive branch causing willful damage? It just sounds like you are trying to say that its either false, misleading, or just a place where that happens so why give a shit.<p>None of those really seem like worthwhile to bring to this discussion.</p>

<p>If you want to collapse just run a system at 100% for baseline, there's no slack, there's no capacity to meet new demands, you're just running a permanent failure mode if there's any perturbation in the system.</p>

<p>Yes, the old rule is you are either earning or learning, if you are not doing either you should be out.<p>Early career pick learning and exposure to different technologies, processes, and company organizations.<p>That being said, this job market is pretty bad for the youngins so unless you are top 1% of noobs I would say focusing on stability and learning would be my north stars in the next 3 years.</p>

<p>Yep, if you want to run a sustainable business you don't look to fire on all cylinders all the time, but that's the rub, almost no owners are looking to run a sustainable business anymore.<p>Most people either want hypergrowth idiocy or to be bought by the people doing hypergrowth idiocy.<p>Setting consistent expectations means you can plan, you can actually reasonably budget, you can have predictability in your business dealings - if you are trying to run a good business these are all real features instead of "puts out more code that might or might not make us money, but at least we were pulling all nighters and adding perceived meaning to our lives!"</p>
