Obituary

Umbrella was a command-line program that printed the weather for one city. It was written in Go over a long weekend in April 2020, when nobody was going outside anyway.

It gained colour output on day three and a JSON flag on day nine. Nothing ever consumed the JSON.

What it taught me

Solve a problem I actually have. I did not have this one.
