Oh, by the way, since the optimisations I made on the bundle size, it now takes ~3.61 seconds to download and install Kitten¹ on my machine and ~1 second to update it (the initial install takes longer as Kitten downloads its own Node.js runtime and that takes the bulk of the time).
Every second you don’t spend waiting for something is a second you can spend doing something else 
PS. In case you wonder why I care about a few seconds of difference…
@aral Nice. Reminds me of a colleague who, whenever there was an unnecessary software frustration, would shake his head and mutter “what a senseless waste of life”.
@bplein@bvp.me@edavies @aral Was he possibly a Monty Python fan? That is a quote that their “Cheese Shop” sketch ends on. “What a senseless waste of human life!” 
It’s very sad that I have that etched into my brain. I had a collection of their sketches on 8-track tape and would listen to them in my car circa 1981 (my first and last year with an 8 track in a car)
