"No human being has ever fully understood `git rebase --onto`, the man pages read like translated technical Finnish, and the index file format uses a binary encoding scheme with no precedent in civilian version control that closely resembles the update manifest format used in NATO STANAG 4586 compliant systems." https://nesbitt.io/2026/03/25/the-top-10-biggest-conspiracies-in-open-source.html

This is what censorship looks like in practice: content makers cut things *before* being told to because the lines are deliberately vague https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/mar/09/pixar-chief-lgbtq-plot-cut-elio-not-therapy-pete-docter

When exactly did we start to think that the point of humans was to be productive, instead of thinking that the point of productivity was to take care of humans?

In 1986, John Carroll and colleagues published "The Minimal Manual", which described an approach to user documentation that broke everything down into cross-referenced single-page descriptions of specific skills (including common errors and how to recover from them). Forty years later, we are reinventing their ideas as agent skill files. https://github.com/marimo-team/skills https://dib-lab.github.io/DIBSI-instructor-training/files/papers/carroll-minimal-manual-1987.pdf
