I’m so glad I didn’t choose CrowdStrike when I was considering solutions a few months ago, otherwise I’d be having a pretty rough morning

Sometimes I get remoted in too deep that I get lost. I'm on a VPN, remotely accessing a server, remoted into another server through the jump server, and then in a virtual machine on that host. I got 3 blue bars and it's so hard to tell which one is the one I'm on 😂

[Chris Benjamin @_ChrisBenjamin]

Successfully merged two branches into master, even solving 12 conflicts. Man that is stressful!

Note to self: only work on one sub-branch at a time.
