.net/React dev in US healthcare. I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
The most incorrectly used idiom in all of tech. It's become the default response when you a person doesn't agree with another's technical choices.

Why on god's green earth would you choose this font for code snippets on your docs site?
