I worked at company and we had yearly training telling us we were not allowed to bribe foreign officials... I really wanted to reply "you know what I get paid right?"

"ah, king Charles... Would this $5 bill I placed on the table change your opinion?"

    Reminds me of a codebase I used to work on which we had 899 variable limit and we couldn't name them, only number them. These were limitations of the language.

    Each variable had to be assigned a 3 digit number but 1-100 were taken by internal stuff so only 101- 999 was allowed. So let's say you wanted to check if power was between 50 and 60 you would end up with like

    #301 = 50;

    #302 = 60;

    #303 = powerSignal;

    If #303 < #301 || #303 > #302: Display error

    Continue process

    Great starting base. Good job. Only 2 comments is you have extra inserters on your iron smelter row and you won't have room to output your steel... You can fix both with a minor change, can you find it?

    That's why I don't make it a credit card. Bills are 3500, pay is 4000, I have 500 to play with. Next month I do over overtime, now pay is 4500 so I have 1000 to play with. Next month company closes for a week due to holidays, so pay is 3500 I have 0 to play with. It could change every month but I always try to look a month a head.

    Edit: if I had a constant 1000 each month of play money from a credit card it would be too tempting on some months to think "I'll just borrow 100 from next month, things should be better then so I can pay it back."
