Y/N?: binary for humans

Explains concrete practices grounded in work at GitHub: renaming "non-technical support," handling account lockouts and two-factor authentication, and why bot scraping needs opt‑in. Cites Charles Petzold's "Code" to justify using binary clarity instead of “maybe,” teaches active listening and decompiling squishy language, gives a personal one thing rule for commitments, and maps consent rules to product design and everyday interactions (ask before hugging, clear opt‑in). Useful if wanting practical communication and consent tactics.
