Hey #Python library maintainers! 👋 I sometimes see pull requests from well-meaning users about bumping minimum versions of dependencies to "fix security vulnerabilities". Here's a resource you can link to about why this strategy doesn't work in practice:

Cookie Monster, as cookie crumbs fall from his lips: Me worry Americans not understand how me operate, think me just want cookies.
"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
STOP DOING BUS ENUMERATION
* DEVICES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DISCOVERABLE
* YEARS OF pci BUT NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND

LOOK at what computers have been demanding your respect for:
Name (_UID, 0x00)
Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized){
Return (0x0F)
}
This is REAL AML done by REAL computers.
They have played us for absolute fools.
