    I love this!: “… the smart engineers, they want to build better toasters, they want to touch actual stuff.”

    Thank goodness! 😅
    Not so many months ago I had to ask what a ‘computer toucher’ was… naïvely, I had no idea the gap between ‘touching’ - some might call it *real* life - & ‘non-touching’ was so wide (non-touching: like marketing, finance, risk manuals, so-called ‘compliance’ tick & flicks, advertising, influencing, fake reviews, branding, logos, etc etc & so on).

    Now I want to know: what is the overhead of these non-touching bits? 🤔 What’s the proportion of touchers to non-touchers? In personnel numbers & expenditures? 🤔

    Getting a handle on some basic info could be helpful…
