Type /buddy and it hatches a companion that watches you code, reacts to your mistakes, and has its own personality based on your coding history. There are 18 species, rarity tiers, shiny variants, and stats like DEBUGGING and CHAOS. It costs nothing and does nothing useful. It's just fun. Here's how it works and what I hatched.
