I disagree. I think someone else’s trials and errors work too. I don’t need to put my hands on a hot stove to know it will burn me. Plenty of other people have done that enough for me to learn from them and know better.

True. I had the good fortune to start my work life with some really sharp folks who were 10 to 15 years older than me. They passed along plenty of “how to do it” advice and experiences, but I also still draw on some of their war stories they shared where things went wrong so “never do this.”

At a chemical plant, an old Vietnam vet with a Sam Elliott 'stache that did all of our data and voice wiring told me two things that I have used in many industries.
"Lemmy, product must ship, and people must get paid." There were a few more sentences that nicely explained in mostly four letter words that if I ever found myself about to do any IT work that would have an impact on those items, I should kindly and carefully reconsider.
