A couple of months ago I shot a 5 round half minute group at 754 yards using VihtaVuori N140 powder, Winchester brass, CCI #200 primers, and 180 grain Sierra Match King bullets on a warm day with gusts from 3:00 between 5 and 18mph and an angle of attack of approximately -7.3* at an elevation of approximately 650ASL while prone on dirt, rocks, and pine needles.

Not quite, the barbarian actually gets it done and released on time with all the parts working- it's just that when you want to add new features you realize the code is nearly unworkable. This is very important because the project takes off and is useful for its purpose, but then you have new feature requests rolling in and the barbarian had already moved off to distant lands. These two last points are key.

It gets itself wedged into use preventing you from just writing a new thing from scratch, "but right, this time".
