Immature thing that make me giggle because I'm secretly a 12 year old boy:

My work's software is up to major version 8.

This means we have a branch called master-8.

I've been giggling to myself all morning while I've done release promotion stuff.

Little things.

Flattening the Curve with Jenna and Travis: Specific 90s reference edition

Hello world.
