Show HN: A terminal-native idle factory game, written in Rust with ratatui
Hey HN readers! I'm snipedbywifi ( https://gitlab.com/snipedbywifi ), and i've been working on terminactory. Please try it out if you'd like to play a cozy factory game while waiting for long agent tasks to finish! The game is a factory game (overused niche, i know xD), but runs in your terminal. Reason i built it? glad you asked: So basically, it started off with me wanting a terminal-native factory game. Me and the modern 5.5 claude models made a base for the game that I liked, and then i went

Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
