Conclusion
I actually quite mad at Jason right now. He would have saved me a couple of hours banging my head against the wall last week. Actually, I can’t blame Jason for me not paying attention. 
Anyway, this is a great tool to add to your development toolbox and I for one, am excited to see it released.
