But people who use it now
don't seem to mean "operating at the edge of what the system can do, thus creating a danger of total collapse", they mean "being an opinion leader."

Anyway that doesn't matter, language changes. My problem with it is that people use it almost as a synonym for "good". Like "thinking outside the square", which is often used by employers who actually want someone to follow instructions to the letter.

It's a bit of a silly phrase for, say, a marketing manager, except used ironically.
or in actual danger scenarios. But I've never met anyone who's used it as a synonym for good in a business environment, only in a vaguely correct sense for striving harder etc. You must have worked with some total fucking idiots, my deepest sympathies.
