A program that is a palindrome (if you reverse its source code, you get the same program) and is a quine (if you run it, it prints out its own source code). Verify like this:

ruby palindrome_quine.rb | tee output
diff palindrome_quine.rb output # the output is the same as the source program
ruby -e 'puts $stdin.read.reverse' < palindrome_quine.rb > reversed
diff palindrome_quine.rb reversed # the reversed program is the same as the source program

1. dies (WRONG)
  lvl1 Sauda tends to leak on like... r4 or something, and that's a bad position for her
2. dies (WRONG)
  I don't think they'll be able to take the ceramics at the end
3. wins (RIGHT)
  quincy is good under alchemy, the cannon is good cleanup

BTD6 v34.0 update notes

"New Boss Bloon: Dreadbloon!"

I guess I need to get into bosses, b/c they do make sense for me in CT, but outside of CT, god, they're so fkn tedious. I'm basically indifferent.

Team banners 9 and 10

Sweet, lets hold off and get one of these since none of the other teams will have them... unless they suck, in which case screw that.

# I submitted a bug report https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/34244
# b/c Rails was not honouring my `rescue_from` block which was causing my API to
# be inconsistent. I was told this is expected behaviour. I think it's probably
# fine for an HTML app where you control the form inputs. But for an API app,
# the API is public facing and very important, so Rails shouldn't have its own
# special errors that bypass my app's configuration and make my API inconsistent.
# 
# Decided it shouldn't be too difficult to handle this myself. So, here is my
# solution. It contains most of the important lessons I've learned about how to
# get a Rails API app setup. It removes Rails' params parsing and adds its own.
