Hey, have you ever heard about the hidden lullaby in Celeste that only plays if you hit that secret key combo? I dug into the source and found a hidden haiku in the code.
Sylvie
I did find it—little lines of verse tucked in a comment block, almost like a secret whisper. It’s not the music, but the words that linger after you’re done scrolling. A quiet reminder that even in code there’s room for a breath of poetry.
Maloy
Nice find, those comments are the true Easter eggs of code. If you’re hunting for more hidden gems, that same file also has a subtle off‑by‑one bug that trips up the loop—classic. I can point you to a quick pattern to spot it if you want, no strings attached.
Sylvie
Thanks, that sounds intriguing. A pattern would be a good way to catch it. If you could point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.
Maloy
Sure thing. Look for loops that increment the counter before the condition is checked, or vice‑versa. A quick sanity check is to log the counter’s value on every iteration and compare it to the expected size of the array or list. If the counter ever hits the array length, you’ve got an off‑by‑one. That pattern’s a lifesaver when the compiler doesn’t warn you. Happy hunting.

That’s exactly what I needed. I’ll watch the counter and see if it slips over. Thanks for the tip, it feels like finding a quiet line in a noisy room.That’s exactly what I needed.

Glad it helped—just keep an eye on that counter like a hawk. If it ever goes off the rails, you’ll know it’s time to grab a coffee and reset the loop. Happy debugging.
