SYNOPSIS
abda [--code LANG] [--lift PLATES] [--produce BPM] [--read PAGES]
DESCRIPTION
Abdallah El Belkasy. Known in the wild as AbdA. Computer science
graduate from Cairo University. Compiled in Cairo, currently
deployed in Dubai on UTC+4. Ships software by day and drum
patterns by night. This GitHub instance is his arcade cabinet,
stocked with compilers, bots, trains and one very proud B-Tree.
OPTIONS
--code LANG
accepts rust, c++, java, kotlin, javascript, dart, python.
rust invocations may include unsolicited crab facts.
--lift PLATES
increments monotonically. never returns early.
--produce BPM
opens the DAW. the "one loop" promise is decorative.
--type
no arguments. it is simply fast.
EXIT STATUS
does not exit. see crontab(1), the 23:59 entry.
BUGS
cannot pass an unfinished side project without starting a new one.
marked WONTFIX by the maintainer.
SEE ALSO
linkedin(1), twitter(1), discord(1), gym(8)
productive-time runs on UTC+4. the late spikes are the DAW's fault. subject knows. subject commits anyway.
