Managerial history

Crest
gollark: I only write for my own systems and whoever is unfortunate enough to try and clone my poorly documented repos so I can use whatever.
gollark: I also don't see why you need a 10D array over just a long 1D one.

gollark: Please do *not* invent your own cryptography for any serious purposes.
gollark: Anyway, you could just write code for doing so for a 1D array, and then code for filling 10 N-1-dimensional arrays and merging them into a N-dimensional array
