I love it… it has kept me gainfully employed for quite awhile now 🎉
The joys of being a developer 😀
My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
