In my experience, some startup events are typically CEOs-only, most are CTO-welcoming.

Similar oneliner to paste on MacOS terminal and get the eldest line for each file extension:

for ext in $(git ls-files | grep -vE 'node_modules|\.git' | awk -F. '{if (NF>1) print $NF}' | sort -u); do echo -e "\n.$ext:"; git ls-files | grep "\.$ext$" | xargs -I {} git blame -w {} 2>/dev/null | LC_ALL=C sort -t'(' -k2 | head -n1; done

I can only think of the dark spot in the sky, birds crossing the solar beam, effects in the atmosphere, satellite disruptions... but isn't this is the most obvious step towards Type III right now?
