We get paid to find the corner cases and handle them before the rest of the world even knows they exist. We've self selected from the general population as a group that focuses on knowing how things work, and especially on knowing all the ways something can go wrong.

On top of that, as you get older, you've ridden, then watched, a few hype cycles and can recognize them at once.

Why wouldn't we be wary and skeptical as heck?

This trait is pretty core to who I am. I have to fight against it sometimes just to enjoy life better.

Not only do we have to understand how things go wrong externally, we have to recognize that our own internal understanding maybe be incorrect. It's pretty hard to trust others when we can't even trust ourselves.
