If an FBI raid is confirmation of guessing right, then could we brute force all top secrets by making guesses and seeing who gets raided?

They used to say "tell me a little bit about yourself." At least for a literal-minded developer the "little bit" added some guard rails against unnecessary verbosity.

What causes one bacteria to flourish in the colon? Is it a lack of other flora? Is it diet related?
Not to be crass, but I also kind of wonder what it smells like. Are there scientists who study the smells of these biological systems? Seems like that would be a high bandwidth way to gain insight into a gut.

That's cool, you made a thing that verifies the two export jobs you wrote have the same data even though they have different output.
I can't help wondering, if you control the code that generates the JSON, why not output in a conservative, consistent format? I'm sure there are pros/cons, but this work would allow something like `diff` to work, and then you don't have to maintain a separate utility.
