We love a big bang production release! @myportal.church is that much closer to an open beta!!
3 shows that I can watch over and over and over again: - Suits - Psych - Chuck
I’m not a fan of huge methods, but sometimes it’s easier and more straightforward to have a chonky method than to break everything up for the sake of smaller methods alone.
