How dare you, for a good decade there I forgot that IBM Clearcase exists. Now I'm ruined, again.

That absolutely sounds like it. I opened several laptops with spudger tools. Now I can open random items I didn't watch videos for just because I have an idea of how it _might_ be …

I've explained bugs and developed exploits just from noticing odd behavior in video games. I know how a team is organized, I knew the multiplayer feature was tacked on (probably by…
