"Best practices" is cargo culting. You wanna talk about people that just 'do' no matter the risk, informed or not - well, blindly adhering to what someone else calls 'best practices' is just exactly that. And they're often bad practices.

Of course, that's situationally-dependent. If you've got the constructive and critical thinking bit, hopefully you're questioning those practices. If cowboys are thriving, there's a reason why. They may be wrong sometimes, but sometimes they might be right.

Thanks for the response. Definitely picking up what you’re putting down.

My choices of words may not be ideal. I guess more soo fundamental good practices than similarly above criticised buzzword-like.

Not sure how you feel about the rest of the post?

Either way; thanks.
