The world's stupidest IRC bot

Read Original

The article details the multi-year development of a complex IRC bot system named 'wormy,' which is actually a bouncer aggregating 7+ independent bots. It describes the bots' features, including parcel tracking, a music request radio, URL metadata fetching, and notably, a 'jsbot' that executes arbitrary JavaScript in the channel, leading to unconventional bot development. The narrative focuses on the technical implementation, community aspects, and the humorous, 'stupid' design choices of this long-term project.
