tajaselYou know when you're fighting computers to do what you want?
You're staring at the admin interface of your website in your browser, trying to work out why what you're putting into your terminal window isn't having any effect at all.
And then you look at your terminal window again, and realise that the path isn't what you're expecting, and it turns out you've spent half an hour editing one website, whilst expecting the changes to appear on a different one.
And you know that feeling of complete, utter stupidity that comes right after that moment of realisation?
Yeah, that.
