Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Using vim is like...
My 9-year-old nephew (who isn't white) was searching Google Images, with SafeSearch turned on, for NASA pictures. He found a meme that he thought was funny because it had a NASA logo and a snake.
It was an antisemitic meme with a swastika, a symbol which he's never seen before. I've gotta talk with him about Nazis and the internet now. And why is Google letting Nazi memes through when SafeSearch is enabled?
