Whatever I Can do to Entertain You in 30 Minutes
summary
Laptop fails to boot so notes are gone and a short live coding session runs on a terrible keyboard; claim: generators for simulation control are the right abstraction when an incremental step is expensive compared with the cost to decide whether to continue. Uses concrete tools: itertools islice/takewhile and small iteration helpers (first/last) to expose intent. Argues functions should enforce single-source-of-truth to avoid update anomalies rather than proliferating flags; builds helpers live and they work.
