Wow you just made me realise why they picked that symbol for usage in git commit messages...

yeah, it's a habit I picked up on usenet! useful for sites that manage quoted text awkwardly.

I usually format it this way. I like the scissors, though. Interesting.

Since he didn’t have suggestions to guide him, he read the docs and by simply perusing them, was aware of methods and other features that the IDE did not suggest. There were better ways in the libraries they were using that weren’t apparent in the IDE. And that makes sense: in the interface for a suggestion in an editor, how much complexity can you really manage?"
