Welcome to my latest obsession.

Accomplished more in this game than I did in school for so many years lmao.

>Made other servers hack each other for my own profit, practically turning them all into botnets.
>Wrote a scan script that is basically much better than the in-game scan command.
>Wrote a script that automatically upgrades or buys new Hacknet nodes in the most efficient way possible.
>Wrote convoluted algorithms to allocate system RAM efficiently between concurrent scripts on all servers.
>Wrote my own formulas methods before even knowing what Formulas.exe was.
>Basically became a senior dev.
>The latest chat-gpt model sends me broken code, I get into it and end up fixing it like the good senior dev I am.
>The game even taught me Go (not the language, the board game. -Honestly, wouldn't even have made a difference if it was the language at this point-) all by itself.
>Ultimately led me to write my very own Go AI bot.
>Made a script to predict the outcomes of the Casino games.
>Made a script for analyzing the stock market.
>Automated the stock market transactions for huge guaranteed profits.
>Made amusing animations to play on my terminal window.
>Programmed my own minigames INSIDE the game, that affect the outcome of the Bitburner gameplay itself.
>Ended up creating yet another Javascript framework without even realizing it sooner.
>All of which are optional to play or win the game.
>And all of this is for free.
>And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Using Javascript for memory management was the joke, but each script costing 1.6 GB RAM at minimum was the reality.

I wish the hacking in Cyberpunk 2077 was more like this.
