TIL: `REMOTE_USER` HTTP Header
While proposing Firefly III to support OAuth login, my proposal got rejected because they already support REMOTE_USER from RFC3875.

Dear Devs, Try to Learn How to Deploy Your Product to Production!
A few weeks ago, I assisted a team of developers that my friend had hired to work on a project—let’s call them Team Goldilocks (obviously not the real name of the team).
