FAQ

What?

The Setup does interviews with interesting people and finds out what software and hardware they use, both in this reality and in a utopian one. It has a teeny-tiny API, and even small APIs are better with client libraries. So I wrote one! Install it, get interview metadata or data with get_interviews(), software metadata/data with get_software(), and hardware metadata/data with get_hardware()

Why?

It was 5am. Also, I wanted to do some analysis of what software and hardware people are using, both as a pop research project and to inform my own (future) decisions.

Also? This thing is written around httr. Or to put it another way, thanks to this package, you can now Hadley while you Hadley your Hadley.

Basically what I'm saying is: the combination of sleep deprivation and the opportunity to make terrible jokes referencing late-noughties memes is, let's be honest, probably the driving motivation behind most of my software development. Hell, we only got a Star Wars client library because I wanted to make a pun about Alderaan.

So you're a terrible person. And, it's "zebr" because...?

Make that sleep deprivation, late-noughties memes and late-noughties surf-pop-punk-rap...things.
