once you reach based programmer level, "i write it in X because i have fun" is all you need

58:10 - 58:19 this needs to be an animated emote. It needs to. I want it.

Dude, the ad was amazing.

Zig is the Zag she told you not to worry about

i'll be honest i usually skip those ads but that one was actually funny lol

Great timing. I just got the zig init program running yesterday. Looking forward to actually building something soon
