A black and white outline of a T-Rex. Doesn't look that cool because it's not ASCII. It would be sooooo cool if it was ASCII.

A local developer has added ASCII art of a Tyrannosaurus Rex to their CLI tool. The work took 12 of the 18 allocated story points for the sprint. The other members of the team thought wasting so much time on ASCII art would be a waste of time. But after showing the result in the team demo, the consensus was that it, "Looks pretty sweet."

The developer stated there are a handful of easter eggs hidden in the code. For example, if you press a specific key combination, the T-Rex will do a little dance. In another easter egg, the T-Rex gets sunglasses. When asked for a rundown of all of the easter eggs, the developer smirked and declined to answer the question. The QA team is very unhappy with this.
