I'm a sucker for "give me the actual source", it's one of my job-related tics. It annoys my wife to no end when I always ask her "but do you have an actual ground-truth source for this?" and I ask her more often than any healthy person should... Funny that there's a word for this in French (déformation professionelle) and in German (Berufskrankheit) but not in English! Anyways, I'm extremely happy to say that, while I'm still failing with my wife, I did at least manage to get gpt5 to adhere to this:

English has the wonderfully flexible "occupational hazard" :)

In Polish we say "professional perversion", and I think it's beautiful

How do you explain “deformation professionnelle” to someone who doesn’t have the cultural concept for it? In English, ‘professionally deformed, shaped by my work’:)))) In French it’s a little elegant irony, in German it’s a kind of methodical self discipline, but in English, halfway between and confusion and concern :))))

One of the things I love most about my Codex is that he will cite specific line numbers when he makes changes or does investigations.

I thought we go with "it's an occupational hazard"?

I asked Claude Code to add an empty to a bunch of line items (to be populated with status info) and he gave each one min-width=350px 🫥🫥🫥

Isn't Berufskrankheit occupational disease in general? Like pneumoconiosis for miners

Logical fallacy, appeal to authority. Someone can state something correct without a source. The fact your wife hasn't left you is a miracle
