Pigeons can do basic math.
No flags. No args. No config. No network.
You type bird. Something appears. Different each time.
go install github.com/DavidLiedle/bird@latest
Or clone and go build.
One day in 2016 I got to the office so tired I just typed bird into
my terminal. My brain had offered me a word, and the shell offered me
nothing back. This is the thing that should have been there.
Your tired brain can produce exactly four letters. Those four letters should give something back.
Three behaviors, chosen at random:
- A small ASCII bird.
- A calm sentence, written for the person at the keyboard.
- One fact about a real bird.
That's the whole product. It ignores any arguments you pass it, because the tired brain is allowed to type nonsense.
