I would have a blast at a job like that, it's like silent Hill or Myst or something but in job form and I've got to assume the one dev would be fairly privileged since there's literally no better alternative than just letting them do whatever they wanted

yeah my next job, if i have a next job, will be somewhere where i find some non-tech centered company that needs a guy like me to do what needs to be done. Being the only programmer seems like a good gig.

Yea I sometimes fantasize about being the only IT-knowledgeable guy in a public sector office but that dream was only realistic for a brief period until everyone born before computers entered the workspace retired. Now those small places that only have one person in that kind of role expect full services on every level from running cables to frontend dev. Instead I survive by knowing a lot about goddamn excel and a little bit about most other things, hiding in the bureaucracy of a huge data-centered government agency.

my favorite job ever was to be The Programmer for academic researchers. you're a wizard, everyone is chill, you work in an environment where everyone is learning things all the time, you get to go to conferences and get your name on papers it's not a great beginning-of-career position (the pay isn't great and you aren't learning things that get you future great pay) but i'd love to return to it as an end-of-career position

I always wondered if it was on purpose to force you to try and understand them. I remember one that was missing a print to clear out a moving "sprite" made of characters so you had to understand the program enough to figure where to add the missing print and at which screen position

i'd go a step further and say that regex is not a tool that can parse anything at all. well at least not in any manner that is remotely supportable.

can’t really go about scraping without some tangle of regex. everything is ‘normal enough’ in that it conforms to a set of rules which can be mapped out. good enough
