The good news: I had lots of fun on stream with @marcoroth yesterday.

The bad news: We will be serving life sentences in Ruby jail if the Ruby police ever catch us.

Yesterday’s #AdventOfCode puzzle wasn’t especially tricky, so we took it as an opportunity to play with refinements, a feature of Ruby that are like monkey-patches, but more confusing. You should definitely use them in production.

I have never used refinements before and likely still won’t ever use them in production code, but it was a great stream. We overrode operators. We dynamically defined methods. We changed what the bitwise OR operator does for integers. Totally normal stuff.

The end result was some code that I don’t really even think is spoiler for the puzzle, because it’s so incomprehensible. Surely you can’t tell me what this does?
