I’m in this meme right now.

I just made a tiny change that somehow broke a major feature in testing. The disbelief is real.

Notepad++ is the only thing I miss from Windows.

FIRMware is just SOFTware that’s HARD to INSTALL.

If you don’t use a vertical monitor I don’t consider you a real programmer.
