Think of it this way if millions of construction workers existed -- all willing to work for $1 an hour .. everyone could live in a mansion because the cost of building a home would be so low. Even the construction worker would be able to afford themselves a mansion as well.

I can't figure out how you calculated this at all. It doesn't make sense mathematically.

COSMIC is new(ish) and wants to make a splash. So they are trying to quickly get their design goals and feature parity as fast as possible. That's going to introduce new bugs, a compromise they were willing to make.

Nah, they just don't know what they are doing. They are code monkeys, not software engineers.

Bugs take a lot longer to fix the more you delay.

Secretarial jobs were already cataclysmically wiped out by the word processing/computer revolution. It's hard to remember anymore how ubiquitous secretaries were to businesses.

However, turns out that this previous revolution didn't reduce the workforce, because the number of IT support personnel required increased directly as the number of secretaries decreased.

Are bickering like children in public. At a certain point you take the gun away from the children. That gun is the stupid amount of money that they have.

You don't have to take the gun away from the child but you don't get to complain when the kids shoots you.

In this case the metaphor means they are going to load your 401K with bogus crap stock that's going to collapse and you're going to be working until you drop dead.
