Could this also be stated that a DSL or code that seeks to abstract away most code in the real language is more overhead to maintain, grow, and build on top of than building stuff mostly on top of real language?

In which case, are we merely saying adding code abstraction layers are at the extremes - where you need to add a lot of custom code - more overhead than working on top of the bare language.

When Austin gave its citizens the task to make a decision, they voted against uber/lyft, and now both companies have left the city. Currently feeling like we shouldn't give more voting power to citizens on everyday issues, since the media and lobbies can get people to do crazy things like give up easy cheap and safe rides.

Did Uber open source their css?
Trust is one of the most important things in a start up. If this was an oversight that's one thing but if not, then walk away and get a better job. There are plenty out there. It's near to impossible to work effectively with people you don't trust.
