After missing last night’s (somewhat) traditional Monday Flash post due to being completely exhausted, my original plan was to make it up today. After mulling over what to talk about all day, however, I’ve come to a realization: I don’t want to.
Any sort of on-going feature runs the risk of running into problems [...]
