Episode notes

I'm fairly pedestrian on a lot of that where I did move to triple monitors like in the last several years ago. But now I don't have fancy keyboard or mouse or anything really good. The key thing is an IDE that has helpful debuggers has helpful tools. So it's not the e-max VIMROW and then Diet Coke. Yeah. Like it was screaming as they're listening to this again the out is this was not modern VIMR but still I yes I was very happy to get back to my visual studio at the end.
