Something on Tech side
We could, for instance, begin with cleaning up our language by no longer calling a bug a bug but by calling it an error. It is much more honest because it squarely puts the blame where it belongs, viz. with the programmer who made the error. The animistic metaphor of the bug that maliciously sneaked in while the programmer was not looking is intellectually dishonest as it disguises that the error is the programmer's own creation.

Them And They, Us and We
And Floyd says:
"Us, and them
And after all were only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows its noz what we would choose to do.

And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end its only round and round."

you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that
you are still paying for - in order to get to the job that
you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and
the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
