Huge shout out to the pip team for putting up with my sporadic work on a PR for OVER FIVE YEARS, then doing the last bit of work to get it finished.
Y'all are amazing, and contributing to pip is always an enjoyable experience. Hopefully next time I don't take as long! 😅

It's baffling to me that scammers are fucking using Microsoft infrastructure (subdomains of mail<dot>onmicrosoft<dot>com) claiming to be from PayPal (but very clearly not) to steal payment info, and neither company has done shit to address this for multiple years.

more good news: the work i've done over the last ~11 months causes a fuckin' ORDER OF MAGNITUDE SPEEDUP FUCK YEAHHHH

so, I got my electric guitar, used, back in 2013-2015.
it's had a bad pickup selector switch the whole time.
i just kept smacking it until it worked for... *checks notes*... a decade.
FINALLY open it up to try to fix it, and discover it's a fucking crime scene.

Absolutely fucking cursed discovery:
If you create a gem, you can set its version to:
0.a.a.a.b---.---c---
And when you do `gem build`, it converts that version into:
0.a.a.a.b.pre..pre..pre...pre..pre..pre.c.pre..pre..pre.
(last dot is included in the version)

!!! `jim release` can now:
1. build itself as a .gem,
2. pack itself into a single-file script,
3. publish both of these to GitHub Releases
Try out the packed `jim.rb` file. It should be completely self-contained:
