Goals of focus and trust to gain speed.

The sentiment makes sense locally, but at some point you either need to trust the thing you're working with or you do it yourself.

There's not enough time in a day to "learn the commands yourself" for everything you do, but if you personally choose to learn and type the commands yourself, great!

It's also okay to trust others with what you're doing.

If you run brew, you literally are trusting other's install scripts not to do something malicious. (Seems ironic to run the brew command, but not trust the copy/paste it tells you to do?)

Even if you don't run brew and install/compile the software yourself, you haven't read every line of code that the software is running to know if that's truly safe.

It's not ideal, but you need to trust at some level or you're never going to move forward.
