There is a lot of talk about how lucky we were. And that somehow this is a bad thing.
I want to bring up the Birthday Paradox:
https://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-the-birthday-paradox/It is extremely lucky for you to have a person in the room with the same birthday date as yours. It is though quite reliably true that in a room of more than 70 people there will be at least one pair of people with a same birthday date.
Opening the code, and encouraging tinkering with it is how we bring more people in the room.
