RE: circumstances.run/@davidgerardI'd like to tell you a story about a contributor who came to us at Mozilla, in my first 2-3 years working there. I never met them, don't know their name, and I still think about them a few times a year. They came to us with questions, as they were struggling to build Firefox on their computer, and they were getting errors that nobody had ever seen. And I don't mean "errors that were unfamiliar to our engineers", I mean "we can't figure out how or why our build system would emit that string."

@mhoye This story made me cry. I pray someone since gave this person a surplus computer. They'd take a 10-year-old machine with 8 GB memory to the moon.
