@Scott I have a friend who has nearly 2500 hours in Factorio, it’s definitely an addicting game 🙂

@Jed I had a lot of fun writing the summarization code! I give Justin free reign to productize it if he wants, I currently have my hands full with a new job and the house rebuilding process.

Great show guys!

You need to productize at least the article summarization tech from Morning Brief.

I played that on my BBC model B computer back in the day. Don’t know if I still have the cassette tape.

Anyway, good to hear you guys are still recording shows, even with the long intermissions.

Another great episode! Thanks for sharing.

With regards to the “tech-tree” talk, perhaps have a dig into the game Factorio’s tech-tree, here’s a brief pic:

This propagates down and is probably upside down to how Math Academy works but it might provide some form of inspiration.

But Jason … DO. NOT. PLAY. THIS. GAME. It’s otherwise known as cracktorio 🙂

Cheers
