[ JOB LISTING ] Software Developer
[ DIFFICULTY LEVEL ] gaia_star gaia_star gaia_star

[ TASK ]
The task of a software developer within Horse is far more varied than in most larger companies, within Horse people cross-dabble in any number of different disciplines and the result is shared with the whole of the clans to further their aims.

You will have to work on the lowest level of these tasks, helping to develop of uncover new software quirks.


[ MECHANICS ]
Roll 1d6 twice, each roll is half the day.
You must obtain two successes to pass the day and collect your prize

  1. - Accidentally you upload a file wrong and delete one of the important directories used by the programmers, it has to be restored by a backup. FAIL
  2. - You find a way to use the more tech oriented famine insects to carry spy devices into formerly difficult to reach places using a programmable device. SUCCESS
  3. - You spend all day helping to set up a large bot net for an attack by another division. SUCCESS
  4. - You help to develop one of the major projects going on at the HQ and it all goes nice and well. SUCCESS
  5. - You write a huge swathe of code using the helper program but somewhere in the 5000 lines is an unclosed tag which you must find. FAIL
  6. - Tyr stops by and helps you solve a problem that was causing hassle before swanning off again in his usual way. SUCCESS

What was he doing here.

Bjorn had a rudimentary code understanding at best, having been stubbornly against integrating all this human technology mumbo jumbo from the beginning. Even with the helper program, he had an uneasy feeling that this was going to be a long day of sitting and staring at a screen, which people now constituted as a job nowadays. How? Freya's tits...

After several hours of intense puppy dog eyes at the helper program, he had no luck. Only Tyr's intervention kept him from having a disaster, but that wasn't going to be enough.

Okay. Be careful with this one. Important data file program and all that. So the helper said for him to do this and that and once he clicked on this and deleted that pointless program...

...why was the screen suddenly blue? Bjorn's heavy brow fell in frustration. He wondered if the helper had tricked him somehow. Could these machines develop their own sentience?

Forget it. He let the computer back up and tried to ignore his anxiety as it rose. Backups at a place like this had to be sophisticated as hell, right?

Cursing lowly, Bjorn set to busying himself with some of the easier to program Famine insects. At first confusing, the task slowly became almost relaxing as he controlled the little drones this way and that. It wasn't a major project, he suspected, but one could hope that someone would be pleased their little spy could fit into this nook or that cranny.
