Operating in good faith, exercising professional due diligence, and maintaining mutual respect are paramount hallmarks for our industry and society as a whole. The internet is simply a conglomeration of peerings formed by trust between a hodgepodge of companies, universities, governments, and more.

Much of this work is visible publicly through discussions, my posts here on social media, and technical deep-dives; an equally important segment of the work happens behind the scenes in private evaluations, feedback loops, mentorship, advice shared in DMs, and continuous learning.

Sometimes the result is the synergy of many issues. The top 20% issues make up 80% of impact. Everyone loves to say look at this one thing that caused X. But really, on its own, that one thing doesn't cause X. And 80% of the factors played very small parts, eliminating is moot.
