It's only really useful for nuclear accidents where the primary radioisotope release is I-131. It's not a magical radiation protection shield (for example against Cs-137 or Sr-90 released as a result of nuclear weapons).

Please, people, use your own words, and don't overdo every little thing. It's tiring. When everybody does this, nobody stands out.

This is a meaningless benchmark - for a small group of trusted big enterprises with insurance policies and mutually signed contracts you could've just as well used OSPF with zero filters.

The benchmark would be adoption by an actual large number of parties that don't/can't talk to eachother spread across the world. With a large chunk of them being malicious or incompetent to the point of being effectively malicious.

Such state should be strongly typed, have a canonical source of truth (which can then be also reused to document environment variables that the code supports, and eg. allow reading the same options from configs, flags, etc) and then explicitly passed to the functions that need it, eg. as function arguments or members of an associated instance.

This makes it easier to reason about the code (the caller will know that some module changes its functionality based on some state variable). It also makes it easier to test (both from the mechanical point of view of having to set environment variables which is gnarly, and from the point of view of once again knowing that the code changes its behaviour based on some state/option and both cases should probably be tested).

  1. Randomly peeking at process.argv and process.env all around. Other weird layering violations, too.
  2. Tons of repeat code, eg. multiple ad-hoc implementations of hash functions / PRNGs.
  3. Almost no high-level comments about structure - I assume all that lives in some CLAUDE.md instead.

But the man's argument is that since he sees something a given way then it's the truth. What people are doing in return is showing that he can only do so because of who he is.

What is this recent (clanker-fueled?) obsession to give everything fancy computer-y names with high numbers?

It's not a '12 stage pipeline', it's just an algorithm.
