Had to do a quick monkey patch (first time in 20 intermittent years of Ruby) which cost me — not much really. Site build time still 2-3s instead of 15-20s w/o my joyfully scandalous additions of the last couple days.

Why is Firefox using 143% CPU and locking up the computer? Ah yes, somebody’s using old React code.

I loved that car.
