I skimmed this video to make sure I was doing stuff in a sane way and wow, if I didn't know about emulators:exec my github actions workflow would be looking pretty crazy with me trying to make a detached process for the database and stuff haha. I'm very, very glad you included that

Is the code lab supposed to still be working? I am having problems getting it work. It appears to me that it is in need of an update.
