I so, so, so wanted this episode to be the one where we proclaimed the UE1 done, full working and out the door, but sometimes, the cookie doesn’t crumble quite the way you were hoping. Still, we got some phenomenal progress done today, and I do think it actually executed its first instruction, which is a pretty stunning milestone!
