I love Zachtronics games, especially Shenzhen I/O and Opus Magnum.

Updating to say that these are logic games. Opus is more visual but just as logistically challenging as Shenzhen. Shenzhen will teach logic from a more programming perspective. As a software developer used to modern development it’s been refreshing to think things thru without modern tools.

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but when I used ditto I turned off the auto cleanup stuff. Basically I had it keep everything. I’d go cleanup manually every now and then (especially images), but having a very long term way to look up past code snippets was invaluable.

So then when I got my first Mac I felt lost without a clipboard manager with unlimited storage. I finally found Copy’em and my life has been complete again. :)
