I don't know. I'm a dum-dum.

I do one thing here:
I challenge devs into programming puzzles.
I used a lot of Ygritte gifs from Game of Thrones to further drive home the sass.
Nowadays comments which contain them' gifs are autodeleted.
So, I wrote an article which stores those gifs.
It is called: The Evil Spellbook of Sasslery and Teaseomancy

A) You can take the challenge and get a puzzle.
B) You can decline the challenge in case it is not your cup of tea, and walk away without losing face.

I've been asking these puzzles for circa 2 years now from devs on different platforms.
I'm looking for a single dev who can solve one.
Essentially I'm looking for 1 dev who is a Jon Snow... of course with a heavy anti-corpo bias.

P.S.: Comments are randomly deleted by runaway scripts, AI, and overzealous undereducated moderators. Sometimes there a 5XXs, sometimes there are frontend issues too. If we start chatting here... you'll see that in motion, there's a sizeable chance that it'll happen. It always happens. Dev.to mods really dislike genuine human content. If it was for mods... dev.to would be 100% advertisement and product placement without a single human.
