Project Enzo

◆ · By Wayne Mesard · Published 2022-09-05T03:17:06.671Z

My team recently open-sourced a container runtime project we've been working on. This puzzle is inspired by that project. Here's a link to the GitHub repo. It's hidden because the repo name is a spoiler for the puzzle: https://github.com/awslabs/soci-snapshotter .
Also, sorry-not-sorry about 57-Across. Honestly, I didn't even need that in the grid. I just couldn't help myself.
Checking for previous play data...

    That was quite difficult. I love its sheer geekiness.

      Thanks Adam. It's getting to the point where my test solvers avoid me. They're like "Why even click 'Publish' if you're the only person on the planet who can solve it?"
