[ 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.

  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.
  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.
  3. - You spend all day helping to set up a large bot net for an attack by another division.
  4. - You help to develop one of the major projects going on at the HQ and it all goes nice and well.
  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.
  6. - Tyr stops by and helps you solve a problem that was causing hassle before swanning off again in his usual way.

Like the name wasn't suspicious enough. Sheldon gave the front of the building a good long bored sort of stare, like he wasn't impressed. Like they really needed more intel for this place, it was like a walking advertisement for Horsemen activities.

Whatever.

After conversing in the minimalist effort with the necessary personnel for inquire about current openings, Sheldon was off on his way onto his assigned task. He had been a little liberal in his experience which seemed to plant him in a rather high end sort of position where he needed to code and work in the infrastructure of their computer systems.

Coding couldn't be that difficult, he did have some sort of skill set even if they weren't exactly there. But whatever, he would make do as he always did. And try to do it as lazily as possible.

He plopped himself in front of a computer terminal and stared down at his assigned task for the first half of the day. Using his Google-fu, he managed to locate compliant strings of source that would hopefully enable him to complete the task he needed to do.

With the aid of the program already installed, it didn't seem to be too difficult until he attempted to execute what he had typed out. Something was broken somewhere and there were so many lines of code. Sheldon grumbled deeply in his throat as he spent the rest of that morning going over every single line until he found the stupid missing little bracket.

The mystery of the missing bracket seemed to bleed into the rest of the afternoon. There had been of course a lunch break and another nap break along the way. And then a need to just do something else - he even attempted to rewrite the code as best to spot it but that had turned out to be more of annoyance.

He eventually moved onto another task to save his dwindling sanity but once that was complete then he had to return to the problem. Sheldon stared at the screen and frowned. (Why would the day not end?) As he glowered, the suddenly appearance of the head of the company was missed and the hand of his shoulder made him jump. Tyr didn't even ask what he as doing, or make small talk (which he could appreciate). Eyes just scanned the screen as well until he stopped scrolling and tapped a finger pointing out the problem.

Without a word the man was gone, leaving Sheldon leering at the incomplete code on his screen. He hissed and tapped the necessary key and finally launched the thing, now working. The only saving grace, now, was that his misery was over and the day of work had been completed.

He could leave!
