What attitude is the appropriate one if everything will collapse?

There are long-tail risks to the stability of codebases, organisations, institutions, governments.. the soviet union collapsed.

It seems likely that some engineers can intuit such long-tail risks.

If linkedin is subject to a competitive threat which requires rapid innovation, the org will lose because it's development practices preclude it.
