I was frustrated with ChatGPT GPT-4 not able to analyze "whole projects". And really really frustrated with the constant copy-pasting. This solves both problems, more or less.

With this specific project, it is running on your local host, so you can sanitize the data before allowing ChatGPT queries to suck it into the "cloud".
Generally speaking, you should not have secrets and tokens in your code in the first place. This specific ChatGPT plugin respects your .gitignore files (unlike CoPilot?). So if you do have some tokens in .env.secrets, but the file is ignored, it wouldn't list that for ChatGPT to read.
But you shouldn't hold tokens in your project in the first place, those belong in the running environment, not in the code.
But that was the 60s and 70s, and the women at the time were in their 20s and 30s.
Many of those women remained "computers" and did not go into "engineers", and there is a big difference between the two. A computer is great at solving equations and doing the menial work of data calculation, similar to what we use spreadsheets for today.
Engineers on the other hand is a more creative approach to problem solving, when presented with various problems (not just of math) that need some solutions, an engineer would try and find that solution by being creative.
About 20-30 years ago, there was a large population of engineers around the world who are the parents of today's engineers who are 20-30yo right now. Those engineers were white men, and women, and asian men and women. Not many of them were black families, so today's 20-30yo black men (and women) are not only a small portion of the world population, they are also heavily underrepresented in engineering. That is not to say they are incapable, as I mentioned above, it is more influenced by the "environment" where these people grew up in.
Also, early women programmers does not mean that today's women had the same upbringing and attraction to the same professions as the women in the 60s and 70s. Back then being a "computer" was similar to being a secretary, it involved a lot of menial work and precision. Today's secretaries might be required to be good with spreadsheets and document writing software, quite a leap away from programming.
The above are generalizations, since there are absolutely definitely amazing women software engineers today, as well as black men software engineers. It is just that they are barely a minority in the software engineering industry, there are just very few of them - which makes sense why the software engineering jobs don't have any significant representation of these people working there.
This is also the reason why there are far few women software engineers than men. It is not about their capabilities, physical, intellectual or otherwise. It is about their environment where they grow up in - some people grow up with programming computers from very early age because their parents do something similar, most of these (by a wide margin) are white or asian boys.
The classical liberal movement was, throughout the Western world, a mighty libertarian “revolution” against what we might call the Old Order—the ancien régime which had dominated its subjects for centuries. This regime had, in the early modern period beginning in the sixteenth century, imposed an absolute central State and a king ruling by divine right on top of an older, restrictive web of feudal land monopolies and urban guild controls and restrictions.
The result was a Europe stagnating under a crippling web of controls, taxes, and monopoly privileges to produce and sell conferred by central (and local) governments upon their favorite producers. This alliance of the new bureaucratic, war-making central State with privileged merchants—an alliance to be called "mercantilism" by later historians—and with a class of ruling feudal landlords constituted the Old Order against which the new movement of classical liberals and radicals arose and rebelled in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
-- For a New Liberty / by Murray N. Rothbard
Today we have a much worse alliance of government and privileged monopolies, corporatism. The few have decided that the companies are "responsible" for doing the decisions for us. Effectively removing any personal freedom the people might have, freedoms that most countries had in their constitutions for centuries are today being removed by government-backed corporations, as-if they don't need to exist at all.
We do know about the free economic zones in modern China, which had very very limited government. So these only reinforce my point.
Some people like gardening, although they will never get to "sell produce" at the vegetables market. That doesn't mean gardening is bad, it just means they enjoy it and enjoy wasting their time doing gardening. Other people just go and buy vegetables at the supermarket that were grown at commercial farming.
Same with doing configuration management on your laptop, if you really want to enjoy it, go for it. For most people its a complete waste of time and a useless activity compared to the alternative, which is changing the few files you need changing by hand, and backing it up to solve the "lost my work" problem.

You can use the Wayback Machine at archive.org to look at how it looked like in the past. For example, https://web.archive.org/web/202201/https://www.spr.doe.gov/d...
Note that it is mostly Sour oil that is being moved off the SPR. Because that is the more useful type. So you might consider that 200-250mbbl of Sweet oil in the SPR is less-useful and counting the whole 400+mbbls is like counting apples and oranges together and saying you have X amount of fruit.

And if trees don't do it "good enough", should we really replace the trees with technological mini-chemical-plants that will starve all of the CO2?
I don't get it.
Why do humans think their crazy ideas are better for nature, while at the same time it is obvious they are going to exterminate whole species when implemented.
And while I see the OP explanation on how cells are a great way to arrange data, I would argue that the existing way of programming in Excel is pretty horrible.
Anyone who have ever tried doing something slightly complex with Excel functions soon realized that it is pretty impossible to do certain things without a lot of "magic" involved. Which is why MS added the whole VBScript thing, and even Google Sheets have their JS App Script (or whatever it is called) to provide additional options to program based on data beyond the basic formulas.
It would be great to see more visual programming languages tested in an Excel like data entry environment. Some of the PLC [1] languages come to mind, or even languages like MIT Scratch.

As any government subsidy, it usually not only does not bring the desired result, but whatever it does bring costs much more than any free market participant would be willing to pay for it. Unless that is subsidised as well.
China very successfully was able to reduce whole industries to nothing by subsidising those industries in China and subsidising the price of their output. One example is Rare Earth, there used to be some production of those things outside of China, there are none today. Want a magnet for your motor? China!
This is not going to raise any hell whatsoever for sure (sarcasm).
WTF is going through their heads?
