Picture, if you will, a nondescript office space, where time seems to stand still as programmers gather around a water cooler. Here, in the twilight of the workday, they exchange eerie tales of programming glitches, security breaches, and asynchronous calls. Welcome to the Programming Zone, where reality blurs and (silent) keystrokes echo in the depths of the unknown. Also, Allen is ready to boom, Outlaw is not happy about these category choices, and Joe takes the easy (but not longest) road.

Tip of the Week
- Feeling nostalgic for the original GameBoy or GameBoy Color? GBStudio is a one-stop shop for making games, it’s open-source and fully featured. You can do the art, music, and programming all in one tool and it’s thoughtfully laid out and well-documented. Bonus…you games will work in GameBoy emulators AND you can even produce your own working physical copies. (If you don’t want the high-level tools you can go old skool with “GBDK” too) (gbstudio.dev)
- If you’re going to do something, why not script it? If you’re going to script it, save it for next time!
- Dave’s Garage is a YouTube channel that does deep dives into Windows internals, cool electronics projects, and everything in between! (YouTube)
