That's hilarious! I was going to comment with something along the lines of:
"This is your car. This is your car on Instagram? Any questions?" But there's no way any graphics I find would match the IG comment. Thanks for the smile.

Costa Rica?
Bit of a long shot, but Cousin = C or possibly Co.
Unknown aristocrat = star from tsar.
ICA - not actually a platform but Independent Computing Architecture (thanks Google).

No, not Costa Rica (nor any other country for that matter).
The answer is both alliterative and fictitious, for what it's worth.

Unfortunately not. Look for the "typo" in the hint ...

I can never figure these CCCs out anyways. Not to mention that they're supposed to be posted while I am still in bed

Well done, sir!
Yes, indeed - the object of just about every single thought that occurred to me during the 1980's!

Software developers teaching robots to fight..? They've got no chance!
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

As Sun Tzu said, fighting is the most primitive way of making war on your enemies. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yes, but the man was also a master of the obvious, like telling us to take care that the wind comes from behind when you intend to set something on fire.

Perhaps it's just that he knew his audience?
Actually, when I create a user interface, it's much the same, conceptually (except the fire part). The "Press Any Key" scenario is something I've actually witnessed, live.
Thus, we complete the circle, for software developer -> fight -> obvious precautions:
He obviously had user problems of his own.

Obviously, soldiers always have been trained to do exactly what they are told and not to waste any time thinking about it. Like the guys I had trained urban combat with. We were told to line up to the right and to the left of a door, throw in a grenade and then storm the room. The other group did exactly that - without waiting for the grenade. You should have seen their faces.

I don't know if such soldiers scare the enemy, but they certainly scare me!

Chances are good that they will remember the lesson. In training a grenade does little more than making you look quite dumb. When there is no more time for training, Darwin probably takes over.

Claymore - When my son had his own squad of newbie privates, he would always ask them before going on patrol, "I go through the door first, please don't shoot me in the back. Got it?"
"how necessary" - years (decades) ago, my dad wrote a program for IBM that did the divisional budget. This was before the days of the PC. People would enter their #s and it would roll them up in a report. He got a call one day:
user: "Your program does not work."
him: "Really? Where are you in running it?"
user: "It's stuck on my username. It's just blinking at me."
him: "Press return."
user: "Hey, you fixed it!"
These users still exist today.

And they are still looking for the "any" key.
Old system had a run light and a wait light.
Operator was standing, just looking at the machine.
"What is the matter"?
"The light says wait".

Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

That's why our sarges are smart enough to follow their squad. That and the tradition that our sarge is always more intimidating than the enemy.

Yes, but GI proofing everything takes that to a whole new level. I expect warning labels like 'may contain traces of explosives' any time now.
