Quite rightly most attention has been on the operational success of the backdoor and how it achieves it's goals. But I would love some deeper analysis of the mistakes and over-engineering parts. In the Bryan Cantril interview [1] André

As a programmer, when I was on the job market two years ago, even though I'd actually prefer to be local in-person so I could hang out with colleagues, I realized it would be a red flag for any software dev team that wasn't remote

I think it's also current museum aesthetics where they do enough to give you the idea but don't want to take any artistic license beyond what's provable. So the painting could have been more subtle especially for those close

As someone from New York you should temper that with at least having some way to get popular ideas passed without full government capture. Take a look at Colorado's system which is implemented quite well. I think it's too attentio
