Worked with a hand-held circular saw today. It's been a good day. I am a sucker for power tools.

@johl decentralized as well!
@firefoxwebdevs I think criticism towards Firefox is rarely (or should rarely be) aimed at the people doing the actual work. It's about leadership's decisions, resource allocation and vision.
