Homebrew should first come up with basic functionality... like you know not assuming the OS will only have one user account ever. I was quite shocked when I found this out about the oh so amazing package manager.

Before someone shares some bizarre workaround: no thanks.

The last time I bothered with it, it complained about my use of `sudo` but wouldn't run unless I was logged in as admin - not a temporary bump, just logged in as an admin. Sudo isn't alright but running as admin is…? I really can't work that one out.

It also broke so I uninstalled it. When I need to I go straight to their formulas and install by hand, as a non-admin user.
