For decades(?) we laughed at the hacker-news commenters who felt they could build Dropbox in a weekend.

We knew that engineer was confusing the ability to write a POC with an actual enterprise-ready solution.

The hacker typed and it pleased the app
But you don't really sanitize it, do ya?

Then up a dir, no not to /trash
The filesystem "just doing what I told ya"

I quite fancy not being sad or angry or frightened or anxious for a bit. We should give that a go. I reckon it would be really good.

Thanks @bagder for the autographed sticker!
