Show HN: Chaos_to_the_rescue – Ruby gem for runtime-defined behavior

https://github.com/codenamev/chaos_to_the_rescue
1•codenamev•2h ago
I built this as an experiment in how much uncertainty Ruby code can tolerate before it stops feeling deterministic. The gem introduces controlled randomness and can define methods at runtime, allowing behavior to emerge dynamically rather than being fully designed ahead of time.

It's early and intentionally exploratory, NOT production-ready. Sometimes it feels like a creative tool. Other times it feels like you're giving your code permission to make decisions you didn't explicitly authorize.

I'm curious where people think that line should be.
