In the small town were I lived as a teenager, there was a successful garage owner who had a Ferrari. It was during the early 90's. One evening after a dinner at a restaurant with friends, a young woman insists to come back as a passenger in the Ferrari. They were later found dead in the crashed Ferrari, which took fire. The woman was in the driver seat. So it seems the woman later insisted to drive the car.

The cautionary tale seems rather to be: if you have a Ferrari, _never_ let anybody else drive it.

And don't let them press any button marked "Turbo Boost" (doubtful you'd find that in a Ferrari though).

Ah that button is just to adjust the clock.

CEO death is a thing, I mean from my experience of a startup that died with a dying CEO... nobody sold the product like he did and when he was gone, yeah. Crazy I still have videos of us debugging our software (zoom + docu sign type product for F&I auto).

Apologies since this sounds traumatic, but in this case, would zoom + docusign not have ate the business eventually?

Yeah it was kind of a bad venture because the people were trying to patent it like... you could easily reverse engineer the concept you know drag-drop render PDF on screen, sign it, websockets, webrtc video provider, etc...

Also their expenditure on money eg. a $30K wordpress site from some agency
