technology connections meme ? on my instagram feed ? it's more likely than one would think
Meme with a picture of Alec (host of Technology Connections) wearing a christmas sweater mouth open, and the text (in greentext-like format): "Looking for new christmas lights. Ask store cleck if they are white LEDs with a color filter or monochromatic LEDs. She doesn't understand. Pull out illustrated diagram explaining how to get incandescent looking LEDs. She laughts and says "they're good lights sir". Buy christmas lights. They're monochromatic LEDs."

Forgot to post this, but last week I released a new version of Heretek: https://github.com/wcampbell0x2a/heretek/releases/tag/v0.5.0

We have tab completion, listing stack frames, and longer string derefs!

Initial Release of heretek: Yet Another GDB TUI Frontend 🎊
