@kazitor Ah, a classic case of PEBKAC. Working as intended!
Although is the use of

Nah, that's just encoded in base62.

From one of those Facebook links where they condense a bunch of content together in a story but the website is really a recipe thing:
30 Stupid Workplace And School Rules That Backfired Beautifully, As Shared By People In This Thread
I’m a programmer. On a previous job, the developers and teams were measured by the number of feature requests they completed.
We figured out to subdivide everything to blow it up into the maximum number of feature requests possible. A manager might request a new report. We’d set up separate feature tickets for “create button”, “make button blue”, “make button respond when clicked”, “implement business logic”, “display results in grid”, “allow sorting of grid”, and so on. We’d subdivide a 1-day task into 20 one-hour tasks.
Management loved it! Our team looked twenty times as productive, despite deliberately slowing ourselves down with red tape.

This would have worked but the arbitrage resources couldn't even do the 1-hour tasks, each one would have turned into at least a day. Shipping your requirements across a sea of blank incomprehension gets them turned into casu marzu*.

Wow. An HR department said this? I mean, calculated mediocrity is the corporate ideal. The cheapest money-printer that can work 3/4 times, is what the owners want and optimize for. They deserve what they model.
Do not give your employer anything better than 10% better than the worst resource they foist on you, without a direct remuneration. Invention is not in your JD. If they want better than shit, sell it dear or get royalties. Work product should not be novel IP.
Remember, your leadership is sociopaths and your employer sees you as a cost center. If a company runs PR, there's a reason.

I work at a research university. Novel IP is (some of) what we do.

Well, depends on whether you have those. Or, if you're really committed to survivorship bias.

That's too bad. Hearing "kurwa!" when you open this thread would have fitted the theme perfectly.

(If the comments are to be believed.)I know better than to watch videos with sound, so I can neither confirm nor deny.
Nevertheless, I have always found blaming Germans to be a sound strategy under any and all circumstances, so my priors point to "yes".
