    Ha! I'm watching the Astros game and I guess my stream is delayed because this just spoiled a home run. Great job!

    Same. Luckily I enjoy the process of refactoring and deleting code is nearly arousing, so I get the initial dopamine rush of wow this works, followed by the dopamine rush of "wow n…
