And thanks for the UWU.md idea, love it!
- chaosharmonic 3y ago[Scruffy voice] Second. I'm writing out a bunch of notes for a technical screen in an UWU.md file right now (even if I'm definitely not shipping it to them like that)
- AntonCTO 3y agoEnglish isn't my first or even second language. --smol creates a lot of confusion in my head. It doesn't even make any sense. Why not --less-ram or similar? What does UWU means? Why using an artificial language instead of established one?

- Timon3 3y agoTo me, --small gives much more information. I immediately assume that it means something is smaller than the default, memory makes immediate sense. --smol on the other hand could be an acronym or a technical word I just don't know, the likelihood of random internet slang actually being one of the first interpretations seems low for most engineers. Let's turn this around. If the flag was called --cutesy-wootesy-fartsy, would you still argue it's approximately the same amount of information? If not, can you explicitly explain why not?
