Getting ready to rejoin @ShopifyEng in two weeks after 1y of parental leave.

Thanks to @christoomey and @_bikeshed I just learned about this great git feature 🥳
I remember @tiagotex changing our entire Rails code base at @liefery_tech from single quotes to double quotes and this commit constantly appearing when using git-blame 🤯
