Getting those fields wiped just shows how unnecessary those fields where in the first place. I'm a programmer. I am the adapter between a stakeholder and a machine. I am just needed because the stakeholder lacks the knowledge to tell the machine what he wants. If he can use this new fancy adapter called Agentic AI now I happily quit my job and go on finding something that makes more sense in the first place.

The same goes for math.

Let's find some things that bring value other than just the price of a stock.

It seems they run out of content so they award you with prizes for feeding the LLM with fresh content. Nice!

This was also my first thought when I zoomed in into the strawberry. I wonder if you can achieve a microscope like effect with a more suitable setup. E.g. better lighting, zoom, lens, etc.

Really cool project! Since the hardware of the cartridge is fully customizable, wouldn't it be possible to port games that would normally not be playable on the GBC? You could add advanced hardware, that is nowadays so small that it fits on the cartridge, and the GBC would act more or less like a renderer of the pre-calculated output of those chips.
