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.

Lol hey man its not too late to go to college for engineering. Just imagine the problems you could solve with your superior machinist brain!

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

"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.
