Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

Are medical studies being written with ChatGPT?
Well, we all know ChatGPT overuses the word "delve".
Look below at how often the word 'delve' is used in papers on PubMed (2023 was the first full year of ChatGPT).

(1/54) “We begin in darkness. A siren screams. The invaders come from the desert in a cloud of dust. The king gathers his army at a mountain castle. A single battle decides our fate. The battle burns, the din of drums, the clash of axes, the spark of swords. The dirt turns clay with blood. The sun goes down on a fallen flag. The day is lost. The king is gone. Our people are left defenseless. The only weapon we have left is our voice. So they come for our words. Scholars are murdered, books are burned, entire libraries are turned to dust. Until nothing remains. Not even memories of who we were. Silence. The sun comes up on a knight galloping across the land. He summons the teachers, the scholars, the authors, the thinkers. He tells them to gather the words that remain: the books, the scrolls, the letters, the verses. Everything that escaped the burning pits. Then he summons the sages. The keepers of our oldest myths, from before the written word. He copies their stories onto the page. Then when all has been gathered, all of the words, only then does he summon a poet. It had to be a poet. Because poetry is music. It sinks into the memory. And in this land of endless war, the only safe library is the memory of the people. It is said that at any given time there are one hundred thousand poets in Iran, but only one is chosen. A single poet, for a sacred mission. Put it all in a poem. Everything they’re trying to destroy. The entire story of our people. Our kings. Our queens. Our castles. Our banquets. Our songs and celebrations. Our goblets filled with wine. Our roasted kebabs. Our moonlit gardens. Our caravans of riches: silken carpets, amber, musk, goblets filled with diamonds, goblets filled with rubies, goblets filled with pearls. Our mountains. Our rivers. Our soil. Our borders. Our battles. Our crumbled castles. Our fallen flags. Our blood. Who we were. Who we were! Our culture. Our wisdom. Our choices. And our words. All of our words. Three thousand years of words, a castle of words! That no wind or rain will destroy! However long it takes, put it all in a poem. All of Iran, in a single poem. A torch to rage against the night! A voice to echo in the dark.”
(۱) "در تاریکی آغاز میکنیم. بانگ آژیری برمیخیزد. غارتگران بیابانی در هالهای از گرد و غبار فرا میرسند. شاهنشاه سپاهیانش را پیرامون کاخی کوهستانی گرد میآورد. تکنبردی سرنوشتساز است. سوزندگیهای نبرد، بانگ کوس و دراها، چکاچاک تبرها، درخشش شمشیرها. خاکِ آغشته به خون گِل میشود. خورشید درفش افتاده را به شب میسپارد. نبرد از دست رفته است. پادشاه نیز رفته است. و مردمان بیدفاع ماندهاند. اینک سخن، تنها جنگافزار ماست. زین روست که بر واژگانمان میتازند. دانشمندان را میکشند، کتابها را میسوزانند، کتابخانهها را با خاک یکسان میکنند آنچنان که هیچ نمانَد. حتا یادمانی از آن که بودهایم. خاموشی. خورشید بر سواری که در سرتاسر زمین میتازد پرتوافشان است. اوست که آموزگاران را فرا میخواند، دانشمندان را، نویسندگان را، اندیشمندان را. و از آنان میخواهد تا همهی واژگانِ بازمانده را فراهم آورند. کتابها، طومارها، نامهها، سرودهها. و هر آنچه از شرارههای سوزان آتش دور مانده است. آنگاه فرزانگان را فرا میخواند. نگهبانان اسطورههای کهن، از پیشین زمان. داستانهاشان را بر برگها مینویسند. با فراهم آمدن این همه، هنگام آن رسیده است تا سرایندهای توانا بالا برافرازد، نیزهی قلم برگیرد، سرودههای آهنگینش را چنان بر دلها نشاند که در یادها بمانند. در این سرزمینِ جنگهای بیپایان، تنها کتابخانهی امن، خاطرهی مردمان است. گویند سدهزار شاعر همزمان در ایران میزیند ولی تنها یکیست که از پس این کار سترگ برمیآید. تکشاعری، برای کوششی سپنتا. کسی که همهی واژگان را در شعرش بگنجاند! گنجینهای دور از دستبُرد آنان که در پی نابودیاش هستند. دربرگیرندهی داستان مردمانمان. پادشاهانمان. شهبانوانمان. کاخهامان. سرودها و بزمهایمان. جامهای پر از بادهمان. کبابهای بریانمان. باغهای مهتابیمان. کاروانهای کالاهای گرانبها: فرشهای ابریشمین, عنبر، مُشک، پیمانههای پر از الماس، پیمانههای پر از یاقوت، پیمانههای پر از مروارید. کوهستانمان. رودهامان. خاکمان. مرزهامان. نبردهامان. باروهای ویرانمان. درفشهای بر خاکافتادهمان. خونمان. که بودهایم. که بودهایم! فرهنگمان. خِرَدمان. گزینههامان. و واژگانمان. همهی واژگانمان. هزاران سال واژه، کاخی از واژگان که از باد و باران نیابد گزند! هر اندازه زمان ببرد.همه را در شعرش بگنجاند. همهی ایران را، در سُرودی یگانه. مشعلی خروشنده در سیاهی شب! پژواک بلند و پرطنین آوایی در تاریکی."

Last month I did the unthinkable and finally threw out that box of unloved cables that I've dragged with me through adulthood.
Today I realised that I needed one of them and have no idea how to find a replacement.

I'm sorry but if you are unreliable, I do NOT think you should be a narrator. Conveying trustworthy information is LITERALLY your job. If you are tragically lacking in self-knowledge or blinded by your own unwitting biases, maybe you are not the right person to tell the story
