it's a concept in dunning-kruger that you sometimes see in the illustrations used to describe the effect. None of this is very scientific anyway 🤣 I'm pretty sure the dunning-kruger effect has even been debunked, but it's still an interesting mental model to think about in these trying times 🫠

I would do this myself but I am just too busy 🫠 there is a lot of awesome stuff happening in the Ember world right now and I need to focus on that rather than getting distracted on a side-quest, no matter how important it is!

This work has a time limit: if we don't get the deprecation in the codebase before about 14 weeks from now, then we need to wait until ember-cli@8 🙈 and that wouldn't be great...

iirc mocha makes it a skipped test when there is no implementation defined 🤔 that would be a better default

I had to update the ball mount thing on the end of this specific one because it wasn't able to hold my teleprompter without sagging.

I went for a cheap enough replacement and it feels stronger (but haven't had a chance to test)

I got myself one of these amzn.eu/d/hTwgXHj

The exact model doesn't really matter, the key thing is that each of the joints have teeth and are effectively locked when tightened and it prevents sag with a DSLR
