Every now I then I see a rhetorical "Who asked for this? Why does this project exist?" where the OP clearly doesn't think the project should even *exist* and it always makes me wonder if I just didn't receive the memo of the list of people we need to ask for permission first before opening a text editor and start writing code.

@ekuber@hachyderm.io Some people have a tiny cop living in their brain and they can't picture what it's like not having one. You're allowed to just do stuff! Even if to some people that might seem foreign and unthinkable!
