Readit NewsI finally figured out two ways to lock the car, but it took a bunch of web searches to get it.
On the other hand, some cars are destined for fleets, and all may need to be operated by a stranger in an emergency. There should be a common configuration for features related to safety and velocity.
There is a cool idea called open source, but I suppose something as radical as giving users ownership of software for their car isn't something companies would be willing to consider. Much better when you get to charge a subscription for heated seats.
This results in it getting opened while running all the time, and spraying water everywhere.
But at least the front panel is not made ugly by things like buttons and a LED!
Two problems:
Buttons stopped working after warranty expired so had to pay for a service call to have it fixed. Luckily no parts were needed. I don't recall the reason right now.
It has a spinny disc, so like a potentiometer but not. It is a flat removable ring and behind it it uses a touch button of sorts
You have to pull it off amd clean it before every use for it to work and when it does work it is very fiddly to use.
There were several studies, and it’s about being 10× as productive as the worst not the average.

It wouldn't take them 10 times as long as Linus to make Linux or git, social context and all. It just wouldn't happen.
So what's the useful takeaway from this topic we spend so much energy on? 'Hire people who are good'?
The denial by some of the existence of 10x engineers is one of the ongoing baffling mysteries to me.
Why only 10x? And why not try to make your 1x into 2x?
It's like if sports fans spent all their time talking about a potential player who could deliver exactly 10 times more goals than everyone else. Why is this a topic that needs to be brought up so often? Why have we 'software engineer'-ised the idea that some people are much more important for productivity?
No, they don't, at least not in America. When you let American traffic engineers design a roundabout, you get this: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8643875,-77.2755474,583m/

I don't need to learn any of these tools or read about any drama, I just type letters into the screen and use my keyboard to move my pointer. That's it, if I need anything more complex to handle my codestring, I write code.
But I have never needed to run a search and replace of a variable, both notepad and nano can do that. If I need anything more complex I do it manually. Anyone that does some exercise or has had a physical job knows that doing something 26 times in a row is basic stuff of any worthwile endeavor.
I have. There were an awful lot of electric tools doing things that used to require manual work. And they were used even the old guys who were fighting against their broken bodies to work for long enough be able to retire.
