Such a great moment to be a diehard greybeard. Not that we're immune, but I'm allergic to the new hotness & we built Symbolic w/ the simplest, most old-guy possible stack. Barebones Elixir w/ aggressively minimized deps, postgres for everything (including places where many would use redis), S3, vanilla React on the FE. We made the lamest, most conventional & battle-tested possible stack choices so we could focus as much of our energy as possible on solving hard problems w/ AI. We only want to be on the bleeding edge in a very few areas that are directly in our value prop. We sailed through SOC-2 (type 2) because you can diagram our whole system on a cocktail napkin. There just isn't much there beyond an Elixir monorepo, postgres, & S3, and the minimal possible number of API integrations. All these "picks and shovels" plays that supposedly speed you up by taking responsibility for some part of your infra, we kept them the heck away from the stack, mainly because we are old and suspicious of whatever is hot on the TL and would rather just do it ourselves using older, lamer tech. Anyway, we're certainly not immune from what's going on -- I'm as nervous as everyone else right now -- but it's a good day to have kept the attack surfaces minimal, mainly out of a mix of sheer old-man-yells-at-cloud haterism and a desire for focus.

You know, it certainly could, but it doesn’t even have to in order to cause chaos with an election where one or both sides were already gearing up to cry foul over results. Think about it.
