Every browser developer should be forced to take an annual pilgrimage to this gravestone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_(web_browser)


1. Take normal browser

2. Shoehorn flavor-of-the-week web-based over-hyped thing into browser "natively"

3. ???

4. Profit!


I wrote 100,000 LOC using Grok, where's my christmas bonus?

It's an abortive attempt at parody. Could've just said "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" and we could at least enjoy the throwback.
