It's difficult to ignore how the README is filled with Claudisms.

I think you're absolutely right. I also think that trying to become a better person is an important part of living a full life. The work I put in during the hours I'm being paid are a part that life.

Howdy!

Sorry, I had an issue with the site being down earlier, so I threw up Cloudflare's bot detector. I'm sorry if that caused you trouble.

As for the back button hijacking, it is definitely unintentional, and I'll see if I can replicate that problem and fix it as soon as possible.

Should be good to go. Got a huge spike of traffic from China (according to Cloudflare) when this hit the front page. Odd…

Jeesh guys, if you don't care, why did you comment or read it?

I personally thought the post was quite interesting and I honestly felt a strong desire to subscribe. It's a shame they're shutting down.

In research that studies a large enough population there will always be outliers. Maybe you are one of them. Your counterexample does not prove them wrong.

You're right that version control is there to help, but it doesn't by itself stop you from pushing out broken code to production. That's the fear: landing bad code on user's machines.
