Sad because it helped a lot with development

how do you uninstall your homebrew casks?

come, see the light:

```
brew uninstall --zap --force <name>
```

I'll explain why

`--zap`:

"describes a more complete uninstallation of files associated with a cask [...] but only if the user uses --zap on uninstall"

so `brew uninstall <name>` is incomplete installation basically

`--force`:

first, what does `zap` remove?

- "preference files and caches stored within the user’s ~/Library directory"
- "shared resources such as application updaters. Since shared resources may be removed"

what it doesn't remove:

- "files created by the user directly"

many devs willingly or not create files on behalf of their users so what I've noticed is that those files that were created by me "directly" were almost always files I didn't need and had no idea existed

There are cases where I definitely don't zap force yank a cask, but those are rare
