Now stay out of Malibu

Leaving the “g” of the f word at the end made me re-read this in Fat Tony’s voice. It was an awesome touch.

Matt Jardine sang his parts I believe when I saw his band play a few years back.

Good point. The amount of bad software I’m forced to interact with regularly has gone up, mostly because there’s so many systems cobbled together in workflows now.

Yeah vs code was one of the first examples I thought of as well. It has its own set of issues for sure, but even as a former vim fanatic it’s amazing from both a default experience…
