I know we all love the Fediverse, but it's also worth remembering - there's (optimistically) single digit millions of users here. That's less than 1% of basically any of the other platforms. Telling businesses and nonprofits to abandon corporate social media entirely is a fool's errand.

A career tip I'm still really bad at.
Stuck on something, you know someone else more experienced in that thing can probably help you with it, but don't want to bother them because you're embarrassed to not have figured it out on your own?
Ask them anyways.
In general, it's legit people's jobs to help out their colleagues when they need some guidance in how to do things. And it's your job to ask for help when you need it.
One thing I've been disappointed with the electric car industry is they still don't want to emphasize the fundamental difference and flexibility an electric power train can do for a car. Fundamentally, an electric car is just like a chunky chassis of the batteries, and the engines by the wheels. Beyond that, what you put on top is whatever you want. Gas cars had various structural needs of dealing with a big huge engine compartment and transmission and exhaust and such. But an EV? Do whatever. Get interesting and wild with it.
