Web developer. Wannabe game developer.

I think #Ruby is a very good pick for any agent to write their helper and throwaway shell scripts. Just look at this amazing way to run a shell command using backticks (mind you OS command injections so you Dir.glob or Open3 for parsing folders that are not your own)

Ruby code snippets showcase commands for filtering filenames and listing PNG images starting with "img_".

Debating honesty on a company feedback survey? You need to lie your ass off. I just saw company slides that separated out the satisfaction scores of a brand new department with three people (and they weren't good). Some hard conversations happening there in the coming weeks I'm sure.

With the help of Claude and romdev, I'm discovering more #NES #GameGenie codes! This time using aldonunez's Zelda 1 disassembly. AEINAUIL: Magic Book causes the sword beam to leave behind flames, just like the magic wand (Add the optional code AEINILIL and you won't even need the Magic Book!)

The Legend of Zelda for NES. Link is firing sword beams across the screen. What's unusual is that flames are visible at the point of the beams' impact.The timeless screenshot of the old man handing Link the sword. Except this time, he says "It's dangerous to take this! Go alone."

One of the odder rituals we have in Western society: the waiter making a big show of averting their eyes as the diner selects a tip

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

If you're a big corporation and are making crazy amounts of money, you still need to dish out misery to your staff and dump them like an old shoe. I wish all those affected the best of luck finding roles with companies that care about their staff rather than money alone.
