“There has to be a way,” he muttered, scrolling through character maps, ASCII tables, and obscure keyboard shortcuts. His cat, Ada, watched from the desk like a tiny judgmental compiler. The real victory, though, wasn't debugging
He stabbed the < key. Then = . <= — two characters, no grace. It worked in code, but his soul craved the real thing. His screen glowed with a half-finished line of
