programming 

it’s not possible for an organization to go “ehhh, the aesthetics of this don’t sit right with me” and spend a weekend tinkering with it

organizations don’t have aesthetic sensibilities and individual personality doesn’t matter much to test suites

programming 

inverting the idea of “lone wolf” programming

a monolithic application programmed by a single organization where compatibility is enforced by the application/test suite breaking if someone pushes an incompatible change: that’s isolated

f·b·i monitoring of activist movements 

« Most of the federal informants who have emerged from criminal cases related to Jan. 6 were not tasked by their handlers with spying on right-wing subjects — let alone with seeking to entrap Trump supporters into storming the Capitol. They were mostly far-right figures who were recruited by the F.B.I. to report on their adversaries in the far-left antifa movement. »
