RE: Wuhan Coronavirus: Can you separate fact from fiction?

When I was still with Ramsey, we built a log aggregation system for populating our data lake for analytics. I named it 'apophenia' out of fear that we would use it to infer patterns with insufficient mathematical rigor.

I don't know how many of its users know what the word means, but I just visited earlier this month, and the dev team is still using 'apophenia.'

Wolski!

That's awesome, man. Super fun to think the word is being used in perfect context with significance and yet people still don't understand the meaning behind it. Great use of the word!
