Just had a bug the other day where we were array_filter and then feeding the results into json_encode. If you feed a sparse array into that, you get an object, not an array, which can then cause JavaScript Problems.
I wasn't aware of either of those behaviors going into that debugging session.

Been playing this one for a while, and I love it. I know it won't always line up this way, but the other day I was able to fill in 4 remaining words with 3 guesses and finished with a score of 8, felt great.

They're already breaking old.reddit.com. The image gallery viewing UI is hilariously bad on old, and recently I've had a lot of post links having the wrong href (usually to the page you're on or the same as the Next link at the bottom of the screen).
Oddly enough, the video player on old still works way better than the one on new.

Yes. Every time I run a vacuum, I can hear voices talking, shouting, screaming. It's very unpleasant. Fortunately it doesn't happen with lower-volume noises like fans.
