It's amazing how fast attitudes to security in the industry has changed. Like, I remember in 2023ish spending a while working on a system to securely trigger remote builds, because we couldn't have our slack chatbots on the same network as our Jenkins server
And in 2026 they just give a 3rd party LLM write access to both + the git repo
People need to stop asking LLMs "why did you do [thing]?" and treating the answer as authoritative. LLMs do not "remember" their thought processes in that way, and even if they did, the answers would likely not be human-understandable.
When you ask a LLM this question, you're asking it to construct the kind of explanation that a human might give in a similar conversation. Treating this as the *actual* answer is likely to lead you astray.
Taylor Branch, Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, argues that Barbara wasn’t given credit because she was a child.

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version (which took a ton of work), reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered.

No AI shortcuts or anything, just doing it properly all the way.
A major accommodation that autistic and ADHD people can give themselves is reducing the number of decisions we need to make.
This could look like is automating decisions, relying on random chance, or drafting standard operating procedures for ourselves, such routines or checklists
Interestingly, the only gaming console I ever spot on the commuter train is the Steam Deck. Lots of laptops but no laptop gaming. No Switch.
So that's the kind of home run Valve hit.
