Ok so first of all let me just say the chart was a joke I wrote for Twitter. Then Joël Franusic suggested I add a bunch of meta tags to the post so that Twitter would show the chart as the "card" for the post on Twitter. To make that work I had to pull the chart into the actual site (I'd just posted it to Twitter originally), so I figured, what the hell, might as well slap it on the end of the post. I don't even know if the ratings I came up with make sense! I docked Biscuits because they're chained public key verification on an per-API-request basis, but who knows? I haven't used them! The chart isn't serious! And I feel like it's all I'm talking about now!

To top it all off, my dumb meta tags didn't even work; they needed to be in the <head> of the page, and I'll be damned if I'm going to figure out how to do that in our static site generator configuration.

I just wanted the Carl Yastrzemski with the big sideburns.




haha okay fair enough!

I hope you have learned your lesson in adding pictures to a long blog post :)

Jokes aside - I did enjoy reading through it and thank you for educating me on macaroons, CATs, and biscuits.
