this is, amusingly, a feature that a lot of people arguing in bad faith got very mad about because they saw it as a meaningless distraction away from the Important Parts of running a website (whatever they decided those are).
i wrote it in one hour while drinking my morning coffee, before my coworkers (who were on the west coast) were even awake. if anything it was a meaningless distraction from my more normal morning routine of "playing a couple rounds of fortnite".
