Bikeshed! Live!
summary
Three developers pair-program a Fallout solver for terminal puzzles using Ruby, tests-first style, Bundler and methods like inject and zip, with frequent hard choices: many hard‑coded constants early, keyboard crashes, and ping‑pong tagging. They get passing constants and a fragile baseline that yields roughly 20% success on guesses, refactors some code but leaves incomplete implementation, and the audience decides the most entertaining performance by applause.
