look at her go 😭 ate and left no crumbs.

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. but lowkey — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you compiled without it, no amount of -v is gonna make her talk 🙈

🙈 BUGS 🙈

Please report bugs of any kind on the project issue tracker:

tell her what's wrong, she wants to grow 🌱
