I'm not really bothering with explicit sprints since the amount of time I can spend on it week to week is highly variable. As I said, hoping to have everything ready about 3 months from now, and then we'll see how Lowtax wants to do it in terms of the migration.

Well that was in October and now it's February. Think everything is ready yet?

nah its some new guy doing it in elixir and he basically handwaved away everyone's questions about how he was going to stick to a schedule when he isn't doing it in public and no one can hold him accountable. and now he's 10xd himself past his own deadline.

the only people willing to put the effort into trying to clone sa are people so sad and bitter that the only thing they have left is coming together for the specific purpose of hating and attacking sa.
