            For all of my friends reading this who are not computer programmers, I'm sorry that
            makes no since to you, but I'm super excited about it! If you are a very experienced
            computer programmer, you also may be confused, if you do not remember what it was like
            to be a beginner, and get excited about doing very simple things."
