       | 
       | "The Artist": posted a screenshot of a terminal instead of copy
       | and pasting the text
       | 
       | "The Filmmaker": posted an animated GIF of their terminal session
       | instead of writing out what they did
       | 
       | Maintainers _love_ artists and filmmakers!

       | Self-award time:
       | 
       | - Procrastinator for at least one vague memory of some high-
       | faluting idea which never went anywhere beyond creating the repo.
       | 
       | - Monkey Wrench was sort of inevitable back when working without
       | feature branches.
       | 
       | - Patient Skeleton: Sometimes I've pinged people ~yearly for a
       | good while before realising it's just not happening.

       | am guilty of many of them. Everyone is.

       | 2FU is actually hilarious, I want some of these.

       | These are hilarious, but I see why they might be rejected.

       | with no affiliation to GitHub.
