I'm still sharing this post in the internal org trainings I run for those new to LLMs. Thanks for it - really great overview of the concept!

I saw in your other comment you've made accommodations for the newer generation, and I will confess than in Cursor (with plan mode) I've found an abbreviated form works just as well as the extremely explicit example found in the post.

If you ever had a followup, I imagine it'd be just as well received!

Good memories! Played this back in the early 00's on a 12" iBook often far too late into the college nights. This was before their custom client, so everyone used something different. I remember using TinyFugue, it worked well on Mac OS X at least. MUDs are just text, and tinyfugue must have had something which made allowed for easy capture and scripting because I did a TON of that. Sure, had to learn "regular expressions", but that was fun too!

There was some random phoenix which used to spawn somewhere. You couldn't teleport to it, but you could teleport near it, and I somehow scripted up a seek and destroy phoenix button. Can't recall why, it dropped something useful but not that useful, so mostly it was just the fun of watching the rooms zoom by (textually) and the joy of seeing a code creation work, insignificant as it was.

Thanks, Lasher, for keeping it alive all these years. I still remember Aardwolf fondly. And I still love regex.

It kills dickbars (aka sticky hover-over UI elements on websites), which term was coined by Mr Gruber of Daring Fireball fame.

Great content. However, the scroll manipulation on this site is atrocious. You can't hold down-arrow to go down - it only moves the content by a pixel every second. Insanity. End this, Enderman.

Same exact thing here. Inexplicable!
