and turned them into bugged-web mail,
hardly suitable for software development,
and their lusers learned that all email sucks

bottlenecking the preexisting git federation

then we who resisted were left alone,
faster, better, and lonelier, pestering aside,
by hostile email monsters that ostracize us,
and by blinded prisoners who pull us in
