Note

You'll notice the configuration in .babelrc includes the babel-macros plugin, then we can use the preval.macro in pages/index.js to pre-evaluate code at build-time. preval.macro is effectively transforming our code, but we didn't have to configure it to make that happen!

Specifically what we're doing is we're prevaling the username of the user who ran the build.
