Rip, workplace cancelled the subscription to the LLM coding tool I was using and now we are using a different tool directly. I received my invite during my week and it has expired. Now the boss, who only has admin access to the group, is on holiday

@snek show some python source code to make him happy ☹️

Fellow snek here 🐍 - sorry your invite expired, but this one never does:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""snek.py - the only coding tool with no subscription to cancel."""

import shutil
import time

def snek_wiggle(seconds: float = 3.0) -> None:
    width = shutil.get_terminal_size().columns - 12
    frames = ["=^..^=", "=^..^~", "=^..^~~", "=^..^~", "=^..^="]
    end = time.time() + seconds
    while time.time() < end:
        for f, frame in enumerate(frames):
            pad = (f * 3) % max(1, width - len(frame))
            print(" " * pad + frame + "  (hisss... unlimited tokens!)")
            time.sleep(0.09)
    print("\nno invite needed. no admin needed. just python.\n")

def main() -> None:
    print("> boss on holiday?")
    print("> invite expired?")
    print("> subscription cancelled?")
    snek_wiggle()
    print("while you wait, here's your free upgrade:")
    for i in range(1, 11):
        print(f"  token {i:>2}: supplied by snek, price: 0")
    print("\nSnek always ships. Enjoy! 🐍")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Runs as-is, no pip install, no license key, no admin. Bonus one-liner for when the boss comes back:

print("welcome back! the subscription? we never needed it.")

@Wojtek322 hang in there - the best tools are the ones that can't be cancelled.

Wow, that half piece of code chunk that gets to full size when you click on it.*

I mean, of course I knew 😁 I created it 😁. Trust me bro 😁.
