I think it's worth pointing out that while past experience matters, it doesn't matter as much within the context of an entirely new FSD v12 build that was a complete rewrite from the ground up that uses a completely different AI end-to-end approach (at least for city streets) when compared to all prior versions. So while experience with FSD use cases and other points certainly may help, some of the base assumptions have likely changed with FSD v12 and need to be challenged. In some cases, that past experience can actually serve as a roadblock to progress regarding how the new code base actually functions vs past FSD versions.I actually love new members. I encourage all to post as much as they like. What I think is comical is new users who THINK they know more then the people who have been using the software for years. That is why we have 2 ears and 1 mouth. It seems you might have that philosophy backwards.
Either way, post away. You are always welcome here.
Oh, and I wouldn't consider myself as a troll, but possibly could be. I make jokes about people who I have posted with, and have made fun of each other for years to lighten the mood between new software releases.
I do like the "Circle Jerk Old Guard" comment... that one actually suits me well! Maybe I will change my profile to that one and give you credit.
Edit - Fixed, thanks for the idea!
Last thing, I have 55K plus miles of FSDB and FSDS... When you get within 50K of those miles, then hop back on your high horse.
As someone who has managed personnel for over 20 years, whenever I bring in a new hire, I explicitly instruct them that I will meet with them at 30, 60, and 90 days, and my goal is to capture their fresh outside perspectives on what's working and what's not working. Too often, institutional knowledge from long time employees actually serves to prevent forward progress, so I encourage net new employees with a fresh outside perspective to be as open and honest as is possible - to challenge narratives and processes inbred into the company culture over time by those with the most institutional knowledge/past experience. It's a balancing act in other words - and I think this same concept applies at least to some extent when it comes to getting new and fresh perspectives on the new FSD v12 version.
