Went back to the old employer's office today, in part to catch up with people, and I met the new infra guy. Introduced myself, his eyes lit up, and he went "You're dal!! Your documentation has helped me so much".

I like requests phrased as "Hi, someone can't do something. They think it's a security issue" when the problem is that we're blocking it. We have too *much* security. Normally that phrasing means we don't have *enough* 🔀
