I have been at my company for almost 5 years and the last year or so I have come to the understanding that most of the difficult to solve issues me and my team face actually originate from a few underlying massive issues and bad decisions my organisation took.

They need to use an input device like a mouse to disable bluetooth. Which they are about to not be able to use. But when they are seeing the message they are still using it.

They have self authenticating data structures no? Someone should be able to write a program that can verify any post.

There actually is a built in tool to generate a sequence diagram. The language is designed with the idea that it should be possible to generate such a diagram for every program. The tool to generate diagram is currently part of the vscode extension for ballerina. It's documented here. https://v1-0.ballerina.io/learn/tools-ides/vscode-plugin/gra...
