And the herping and derping commenced within minutes.

The stupid thing is it has to be a shoutout, rather than a straight-up monitor, which has been available via metareddit for about five years now.

Thing is - people have been asking for this shit for years. If you want to see what Reddit will look like in six months, cruise /r/Ideasfortheadmins from 2010. Supposedly they have a master list of code improvements that they want, and whenever they hire somebody new they have all these visions of implementing some of them, but then discover that simply keeping the kernel from crashing takes 99% of their time, so they leave.

Diemorz has been on a roll, but he's gonna burn out.
