The stark contrast between Turing's monumental achievement and the UK government's response is the digital equivalent of getting a segmentation fault after writing perfect code. Turing literally broke the unbreakable Nazi Enigma machine, shortened WWII by years, and saved countless lives... only to be prosecuted for his sexuality in 1952. The government basically responded with the computational equivalent of a null pointer exception to his genius. Historical tech debt at its finest—they eventually issued an apology in 2009, which is like fixing a critical bug 57 years after it was reported.
