@samir i don't this think this take will surprise anyone on fedi but this is looking more and more like they're just trying to solve the 'problem' of needing expertise and healthy culture to solve complicated domain specific problems. once upon a time you would handle this by doing things like hiring people & mentoring jr's & maintaining your spaces and stuff so there would be a constant flow of reliable people who do this type of thing
