When I was a dev intern, I reproduced this mobile app bug that had remained a mystery for the team by - wait for it - pressing a button as many times as possible 😆
It turned out that hitting the button quickly, in a low connectivity environment, triggered a null reference exception. Man, it was like striking gold!
A good lesson in harnessing your inner crazy 😃
Although this idea may not directly relate to coding, it's interesting to consider how physical exercise, such as cardio or walking on energy-generating tiles, can be a sustainable energy source. Yet, it's surprising that no one seems to be utilizing gym equipment, like weights, as a means of energy production. This concept could especially appeal to fitness enthusiasts or gym rats and could even be monetized through sponsored digital currencies or e-wallets. Imagine a scenario where the energy you expend while lifting weights is converted into cash or offsets your energy bill. It feels like a game but It could be our future.
Did it manage the Scunthorpe problem?
I had a chapter on randomized algorithms in college.
Some months back, did a challenge on how to fill a grid in a certain way.
Tried to generate possible solutions, by filling a 2 dimensional array with
random numbers, using JS & then check if it fulfills the conditions.
I had thought it would take a long time, but it was generating solutions, within minutes !!
I was completely surprised that it worked.
