It was that way when I decided to fix someone's bullshit in a website back when I did that. You pull one little thread and somehow end up naked 😂
That's why I rarely offer "fix" or fork other people's stuff. I'm not good enough at anything to fix someone's mistakes without completely redoing everything.
Fun part about being the computer dork at a performance shop. The other guys turned wrenches most of the time, I watched and beep blooped stuff to make it go faster.
