the stupidest thing in intellij is "management" of data sources nukes the existing query consoles'
(i dont know/care if there's a hidden setting somewhere to override this behavior)
maybe i'm going to start keeping a 'scratch*.sql' in my global gitignore just for this

b.1. archive moves emails to local folders (simple enough to fix)
b.2. address book isn't auto-populated based on incoming emails (idk how to fix this yet)

Ask any software developer. They’ll tell you the same thing. There is no amount of time smaller than 1 millisecond.

Did you know that because of that little bit of host/node overhead per VPS, it's more efficient to make big cloud servers instead of many smaller service-separated ones?
