These rules are great, but IMHO they should run in KiCad ERC, rather than being a Google Doc. Just as with software, we can get rid of so many passive aggressive email threads and Word documents if we just automate the rules!

I grow frustrated with local news-- by focusing so much on stories of violence, they inadvertently promote the idea that the world is more violent than it is (leading voters to candidates who promise security at all costs).

Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production
Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place
