The patterns in these letter blinks are strangely comforting.

REPL is "Read-Eval-Print Loop", not "realtime programming loop" btw.

For a book series that explores this idea, check out the Magic 2.0 series by Scott Meyer. The first one is called Off to Be the Wizard.

Another series that's built on this premise is the Wizardry series by Rick Cook.

Ok,

⁠I fit this description
⁠I may or may not have tried blinking "console" (although terminal would be more appropriate)
⁠Every developer worth his salt knows that the short cut is ctrl+alt+T

Only on Linux (maybe on Mac)

If i manage to bring up the universe’s terminal and it is a fucking DOS prompt, I’m committing seppuku on the spot

Me, blinking it with my buthole: 'You have no power here, Eyedolf The Gray'

more like brown-eyed wizzard!

[WP]You're a software engineer who is a communications geek. You learned Morse code. One day, on a whim, you blink "console" with your eyelids. A translucent overlay over everything appears, highlighting items of interest. A realtime programming loop prompt blinks eagerly
