Ask HN: Do you see a Pancake in the top left menu at Github.com?

I'm not kidding.

``` <button data-component="IconButton" type="button" aria-haspopup="dialog" class="prc-Button-ButtonBase-9n-Xk styles-module__appHeaderButton__axedQ prc-Button-IconButton-fyge7" data-loading="false" data-no-visuals="true" data-size="medium" data-variant="invisible" aria-labelledby="_R_1b5_"><span class="GlobalNavMenuToggle-module__pancakeIcon__dE2fg" aria-hidden="true"></span></button> ```

It is wild that amidst all these platform stability issues, GH has decided now is the time to do cutesy marketing for a new feature

Imagine being a new GitHub user and you're trying to find the menu. Realizing that you have to click on a bunch of pancakes to get where you need to go would be pretty annoying.
