This is the ideal Ruby syntax. You may not like it, but this what peak performance looks like.

I'm glad you posted it on Mastodon too @jared! There's enough room for me to explain my reasoning here.

Based on the docs (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/syntax/literals_rdoc.html#label-Here+Document+Literals) and some experimentation, I think it's this.

PLEASE is opened and closed within OH_NO.
`concat` executes at the end of OH_NO and opens JARED_STOP.
That leaves the first and last line only in DO_CRIME.

But do you know the actual answer or how to find it?

@ChaelCodes Yes, you have it right! 💪

Here's a version where I've added annotations to make it more clear, the output… and then an image I just made that shows the same thing yours does.
