Please, by all means ask about the dev operations at a startup so that founders know not to hire you. You will sacrifice execution for enterprise best practices. You will over over-complicate every project.
Web sites running perl cgi are still online today and pull more traffic than the shit site you were tasked to create with infinitely more resources.
One of the longer running open knowledge communities still in existence today is the cannabis community. People are growing their medicine at home. How great is that?
There's a rather vibrant community of DIY cannabis growers on Reddit. Subforums include /r/microgrowery, /r/macrogrowery, /r/autoflowers, and a very niche /r/spacebuckets.
DIY growers cross-bred small lots over years and years, ultimately creating most of the 1000+ strains enjoyed today.
A while back, a small group of pot entrepreneurs registered the genetics of these strains in the public domain so that corporations couldn't patent them: https://opencannabisproject.org/
These aren't scientists. These are the corrupted who are making society more dangerous to live in. They subordinate science to favor special groups at the expense of everyone else.
I'm so narrow minded thinking about using empirical decision making, though. I'm not seeing the big picture of what releasing people predisposed to violence could do for society.
When I was a teenager, I tried psilocibin but nowhere near the amount that is administered in a clinical setting today. Despite not taking as much, I vividly recall how confident I was that I could jump from the window of a second story and land without experiencing any discomfort. I felt not just good but superhuman. Fortunately, I had some mental bearings left that kept me from performing this stunt. I never had that urge to jump from a window again, but I also never tried shrooms again either. Instead, I took a walk at night in the pouring rain to venture somewhere that I would never go to in daylight and to do something I would have supremely regretted had I actually accomplished my goal.
Because of this experience, I agree with Pollan and others that Psilocybin ought to only be used under clinical supervision.
What is stopping a sovereign state like China from stealing source code from companies and giving it to its own entrepreneurs? China follows state-run capitalism. It decides who gets what. I'm not just talking trade secrets but rather code bases with millions of lines of code that took hundreds of thousands of person-hours to create and evolve. Also, it would only need to focus all of its resources on cloud infrastructure where companies put all of their eggs in one basket.
China won't start from 0 when it can steal and copy.
