All those cases also have huge penalties or effective costs associated with them. Is there an accurate "shame first, then penalties came later" stand point?

Automobile safety in my life has only changed after fines. Sexual harrassment still happens and doesn't seem to be helped by shaming someone as much as firing them. Though we often don't have the guts or legal backing to publically shame someone.

Yes. I have started doing this with an Obsidian note for each project. Any ongoing lists go there, and each day has a heading with todos and thought process while solving the todos. Then in my main todo list or kanban I just link to the project with one sentence on where to resume the next day.

Buildkite also seems to have a free option but I have no concept of how the value compares to the free option for GitHub Actions.

The Pixel 9 Pro has a "webcam" mode when plugging into a computer. I wish this was a thing sooner.

Well, if the majority of candidates are applying to a job where they only meet four out of five of the requirements, if the employer can add a sixth requirement they may naively think then applicants will have five out of six requirements. Alternatively, if they receive too many applications, a solution is to be more specific so they receive fewer or they can filter out more earlier. Adding additional requirements is one way to do this, even if the requirements are not necessarily connected to a successful candidate (knowing how to write in languages that aren't used in the company, for example); some recruiters don't seem to know that some of those requirements are completely irrelevant to the position.
