A completely serious architectural argument for why your AI logging pipeline should smell like bread.
In 2020, while the rest of the tech industry was migrating its entire nervous system to centralized cloud providers, half the engineers I knew were trapped at home learning to keep a jar of wild yeast alive.

Editor's Note: This piece was reviewed for accuracy by a sourdough starter named SIGTERM. SIGTERM declined to comment, as it was in the middle of a bulk fermentation cycle and could not be interrupted without corrupting the crumb structure. All Chef esolang code in this document compiles. The bread it describes would also technically compile, though our legal team advises against consuming anything produced by a runtime primarily used for satirical telemetry. The author has accepted no sponsorship from Big Flour. Regrettably.
