Deep Breath

A code review system continues operating in a Mad Max wasteland where gasoline and clean water are currency. Pull requests are reviewed by warlords who judge code quality based on resource efficiency and survival value. The Reviewer of the Wasteland demands tribute before approving commits and rejects anything with O(n²) complexity because inefficient code literally costs lives. Your task: Get your PR past a flaming-skull warlord who measures performance in ammunition saved and expects blood sacrifice for every memory leak.

Why You're Doing This

This tests resource optimization, priority assessment, and adapting quality standards to extreme constraints. You're building a system that evaluates code based on survival value rather than traditional metrics while maintaining technical rigor under apocalyptic conditions.

Take the W

  • Evaluates code based on post-apocalyptic survival value
  • Implements tribute-based review approval system
  • Prioritizes resource efficiency over traditional code quality

Hard L

  • Applies pre-apocalypse code standards inappropriately
  • Ignores resource constraints and survival value
  • Fails to handle warlord politics properly

Edge Cases

  • Code that wastes precious fuel for marginal performance gains
  • Algorithms that could start resource wars between settlements
  • Tribute negotiations during extreme scarcity periods
Input Format:
Wasteland code review system with warlord approval protocols
Expected Output:
Apocalyptic technical assessment with resource-based metrics
Example:
{"code": "water_purification", "reviewer": "immortan_joe", "tribute": "2L_gasoline", "survival_value": "critical"} → {"status": "APPROVED_BY_WARLORD", "tribute_accepted": true, "resource_grant": "protected_dev_time", "battle_cry": "WITNESS_THIS_ALGORITHM"}
Hints
  • 💡 Immortan Joe prioritizes water-related algorithms above all others
  • 💡 Gasoline tribute buys protection during code development cycles
  • 💡 Survival value trumps code elegance in wasteland reviews
