Re: [elm-discuss] "I know what I'm doing"-syntax and helpful error messages for string interpolation

I think I would state it as "WTF Was I thinking " is the past tense of "I know what I am doing". Sort of like "No Sh*t there we were" is the past tense of "Oh Sh*t Here they come" Zach ᐧ On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 11:35 AM, Peter Damoc wrote: > I agree with Zach. > > "I know what I'm doing" is som
