Because I know this one's going to strike deep into the heart of many people. I've actually shared this in the past as an unpopular opinion. And I think it was unpopular. So I mostly share this when I'm making fun of Nick Nisi because it was one of my favorite pastimes. Shout out to Nick. By the way, Friendly Feud coming soon. The cast of JS Party will be there.

Thank you to everybody who took our survey. We've got a huge response. We got way more responses than I wanted. So I'll have to comb through all those. I wanted 100, but... I forgot to turn the type form thing on where you can close it after N responses. And so we've got way more than 100, which is great. It's just more than we needed. So happy, happy that you all supported us.

And that will be recorded early March. And so it's going to be coming to Change Dog and Friends here soon. Quick update on Nick Nisi. But what I believe now, which I used to not believe, especially as a younger person with more time on my hands, is that customization... and tweaking of your environment is the root of all yak shaves.

I think we waste way too much time customizing, tweaking, fiddling, changing our programming environments than we need to. I think you can get 80% of the way there with 20% of the effort and then knock it off and get some work done. Stop customizing. You're just shaving a yak. I know it feels good. But you're not doing the main thing. You got to keep the main thing the main thing.

you know, the people who have like a comment font and then a code font and then like dark mode and light mode and they can toggle it based on, you know, where they are in the world or whatever it is, you know, and they've just got all that stuff figured out.

I've never, I've never like launched it and thought this isn't good enough, but maybe I just don't know. Oh, well, then you should see my HTOP. I would love to. I mean, customize mine.
