Hindsight, man. Forecasting is hard. But I feel like getting things done at scale has always taken a willingness to be "lazy" and delegate thinking. It's just accessible to more people now; which is good, if it gets used for positive-sum pursuits and not just "getting the edge" over your peers.
I have no strategy for the transition. Just fingers crossed that it gets sorted out somehow with minimal actual loss of life.
