That’s how it sounds. And it’s my first new guitar in over 16 years. It’s an American Standard Telecaster — they’ve gone back to the brass bridge, but no palm-shredding ashtray bullshit.

For the most part, build systems spit out .DLLs and .EXEs, perhaps a .ZIP, and occasionally an .MSI file capable of bootstrapping a production server or a developer workstation in more sophisticated examples.
