Mimic implements a sick, sick idea floated on Twitter by Peter Ritchie: "Replace a semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's C# code and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error."
mimic provokes:
• fun
• frustration
• curiosity
• murderous rageThere are many more characters in the Unicode character set that look, to some extent or another, like others – homoglyphs. Mimic substitutes common ASCII characters for obscure homoglyphs.
Fun games to play with mimic:
• Pipe some source code through and see if you can find all of the problems
• Pipe someone else's source code through without telling them
• Be fired, and then killed
What arseholes. What magnificent arseholes.
