into specially prepared pieces of rock:
then apply energy and imbue them with instructions in specific, obscure languages to perform tasks for us. If you make any mistakes while uttering the instructions, the task fails.

If you were assuming this was a rickroll… you would be wrong.
It’s worse than that. And yet, also better.
I assume we’re enemies now.
Your rocket will ignite in fifteen minutes.
Actually, it’s looking more like six days.
No wait, thirty seconds.

Be careful whose advice you buy,
but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia;
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off,
painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it’s worth

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Somewhere in a box in your childhood home, a Tamagotchi is slowly dying…

And if you really want to get upset about confused standards you should read the section of the Talk page about why JIS B 1012 was removed:

They ARE distinct from standard Phillips, and posidrive. If one tries to use Phillips on them you’ll likely strip the head.

As discussed, the previous paragraph was wrong and (as of now) uncited, so it was removed. No information is better than wrong information.

Everything is prod.
No no, everything is test.
Everybody has a test environment.
Some are lucky enough to also have a production environment.
The folks at NIST know what they’re talking about. The US government directed them to develop security policy for government information systems in 2002 (FISMA) - they’ve been thinking about how to do this properly for 24 years.
If you happen to work for a US government agency of any kind, you can basically tell your boss “NIST guidance says we should do X” and compliance is technically required by law (within the context of security policies that apply to your agency’s work area). If you work for a company that does business with the US government, there are similar compliance policies also published by NIST that you should be following (and your company could lose its contracts if it is not compliant).
