The problem is not new, though. The article opens by mentioning a 1926 concert in which the choir asked the audience "If you sing tenor, please join us." The tenor range is relatively rare among men's voices. I'm a high

I looked at their docs. Their "Debug with SSH" feature is something I would have liked to have had many times in the past: instead of adding a CI command to cat a log file to the terminal, then examining it with GitHub's inad
