I used to build Excel spreadsheets. Once crashed an entire call center floor because I didn’t properly test a macro. Took about 150 agents offline for maybe half an hour. Cost the company thousands in billable time. Wish I’d thought to say “it escaped containment!”

I don’t have terrible handwriting, I just refuse to complete the circuit of verificationist communication.
asemic orthography is one mechanism by which these scripted performances decline to complete the circuit of verificationist communication they

(1/2) Since I haven't seen anyone else mention this one... It was an open secret that Dolly Parton secretly funded a massive number of southern high school bands, most especially predominantly Black high schools.

Borges once described an astrolabe of such brilliantly ingenious design that any astronomer sent to use it would instead be consumed with obsession over examining the astrolabe's construction, so it was useless for examining the world, and the sultan ordered it thrown into the sea.

Agile Development was invented in the Soviet Union.
Shturmovshchina was a common Soviet work practice of frantic and overtime work at the end of a planning period in order to fulfill the planned production target. The practice usually gave rise to products of poor quality at the end of a planning cycle.
