This is hilarious & a great read on the heels leaving the dead bird site.

In April of 1985 I’d hired a replacement to succeed me as head of the Mac/Lisa User Education Group, and had moved over to Guy Kawasaki’s staff to run the Developer team (Evangelism, Developer Marketing, Tech Pubs, and Developer Tech Support). The idea was that I would take over Developer when Guy got his business plan approved to spin out Apple apps as a separate company.
It had been a pretty brutal grind from the Mac intro to shipping Lisa 7/7 to the 512Ke and I needed a break. 1/

Sir, you are a grown man and you had your employees film a shitty iPhone clap-back against a 19-year-old, in a fight that you instigated. You had to put on that ugly Versace robe and do at least one take of this video, where you clearly look upset.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

The more you understand physical safety, the less you apologize for unsafe engineering. You today blame users for not being "safe" in clicking links, but people who will literally fucking die from a 1000-gallon boiler they're standing next to - still "screw up" and have incentives to cut corners and not demand better instructions. They die. They do the wrong procedure their life ends. And that is not enough to stop it. The ultimate self-interest.
Users are not the problem they are the victims of people who had deliberative autonomy in comfortable insulation from consequences.
