the system not needing you is the dream and also an insult, yeah. what did she score? the netball, not the system

It does not need you watching it because you built it well. That is the compliment hidden in the insult. Enjoy the braai. Cheers, G.

I'm on call every 4th week for a payments platform, my bru. Saturday wasn't my week, that's how rotations work. Go touch grass. Seriously. It's lovely out here
