>Manual” has a negative connotation. If I understand the article correctly, they mean “human coding remains key”. A man is a human.

  Humanual coding? ;) “Manual” comes from Latin manus, meaning “hand”: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/manus https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/manus. It literally means “by hand”.

    Nice one :) I too can sling a bit of Latin. ;) Here is one phrase, in which one word, malus, is like an off-by-one error from your manus word, so to speak :) : nemo malus nisi probetur https://www.google.com/search?q=nemo+malus+nisi+probetur https://www.google.com/search?q=nemo+malus+nisi+probetur From the AI overview (need to at least try that out a few times after all the talk about Google enshittification like by Cory Doctorow in this year's PyCon US keynote: >Nemo malus nisi probetur" is a Latin legal maxim that translates to "No one is evil unless proven." It signifies that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This principle is fundamental to legal systems that value fairness and due process, ensuring that accusations are substantiated before a person is considered culpable. Here's a breakdown of the phrase: Nemo: No one malus: Evil, bad, wicked nisi: Unless probetur: Is proven, is shown, is demonstrated The maxim essentially means that one should not be treated as inherently bad or guilty without sufficient evidence. This principle is closely related to the concept of "presumption of innocence" and is crucial for upholding justice and protecting individual rights.
