Some hiccups, but the website is back fully online, this time with caching so the database isn't getting battered. Continuous Deployment (CD) scripts are successfully deploying both the test site (on push) and the prod site (manual trigger), so future deployment will be seamless.

Woot, back online!
Yeah, so I broke the website. The backend is up, but the Angular site doesn't appear to be starting. I'll fix it tomorrow and worst-case I'll revert DNS to the GoDaddy host, but ideally tomorrow everything runs on Azure.

"if it's free, *you're* the product" is usually the case, yes.
But the entire purpose of Rubberduck is to be a *free* tool for VBA, and hopefully a good one at that! It's built out of passion and love for the language, and packs hundreds of combined years of knowledge & wisdom from its contributors.

My confidence in Git increased 10x when I finally understood what changes I can easily undo / fix in Git and which once I can't:
If you have a commit/can find the commit that has what you need, you can restore it.
If it was only in your working copy, you're likely fucked.
Commit. Literally.

Yes but you've skipped over the supremacist premise: there's an out-group that the law binds but does not protect, and an in-group that the law protects but doesn't bind. So yes, but no.
They're not even hiding it anymore.

Yeah... also true for a VBA language server tbh
Rule of thumb for game development time:
If you think it'll take less than 3 years, you're wrong.
If you think it'll take more than 3 years, you're screwed.

Saw something on the other site about some wild changes in ToS... I'm officially out, app is uninstalled and I'm not going back.

Been working on the server side, needed a type system for symbols to be able to resolve to... well, types.
Traverse syntax trees, spawn symbols, send them over LSP.
