A few hacks n' helpers to make your code more fun and unpredictable.
Stop being so black and white. Mix things up a bit and execute code sometimes.
A (very) simple collection of lil' helpers polluting Object namespaces since 2013 because...why the hell not?
Add this line to your Gemfile:
gem 'sometimes'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Require when needed
require 'sometimes'
Say something every other time
# executes warm fuzzies 50% of the time sometimes do puts "Hey, you are awesome. You really are." end
Maybe you want to do something several times, but not always the exact same number of times
# between 4 and 10 boogers made, it's unpredictable! (4..10).times do pick_nose end
Maybe you want to remind someone of something, but not toooo often (It gets annoying!)
# be annoying, but only 15% of the time 15.percent_of_the_time do puts "Howdy, Don't forget to register!" end
33.percent_of_the_time do be_very_polite end
Share a rare moment with your user
# be really annoying about 5% of the time rarely do puts "How would you like some spammy spam spam!" end
1.percent_of_the_time do puts "Want to see something really cool?" end
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all:
never do puts "You're a terrible person" end
Always remember your manners:
always do puts "Thanks for sharing!" end
Counting precisely is overrated.
# Sometimes increment, sometimes don't i += sometimes(1)
5% of the time add 10, otherwise increment
i += rarely(10, otherwise:1)
Model real life state, like your calendar ```ruby
status = mostly ? "busy" : "free"
status = mostly("busy", otherwise: "free")
## Why?
This gem was made so alonetone could bit more fun when displaying notices and communicating to our users.
We are human, and have personality. Shouldn't our applications reflect this? Be predictable where it counts. But toss in some spice here and there — it is always a good thing.
