Reply with a demand for the holiday money you haven't yet been paid.

Oh...
You should reply and complain that you didn't get paid at all! Ask for compensation money!

or I could just reply to *you* and tell you to check your email 
I sent you a link to a github with LL on it.
LL is usable now. And I've worked out the kink with the { } repeat construct so it doesn't introduce conflicts.

Nice!

You haven't lived until you've convinced your manager you need a parser generator for your project.

Been there, done that!
In 2005 I had to Parse ObjectiveC header to generated C++/CLI code that can interface with GNUstep!
Used ANTLR back then.

Well, let's look at your options:
1. Claim unemployment
2. Sue them for wrongful termination
3. Tell them you await your unused vacation time check
There's probably more flippant ideas, but when I think about it, there might actually be concern that this somehow shows up in your job history by one of those companies that tracks this stuff. Could be the making of another Netflix Black Mirror episode.

I thought about that which is why I called them. They assured me it wouldn't, but I don't trust they'd actually know.
It doesn't matter though. I'm crazy as in official and certifiable and it shows, so I don't think job history is the first thing a potential employer looks at where I'm concerned. More they're probably wondering why I'm rocking myself.
one of the few upsides of being mad is I don't have to keep up appearances.
Still, I work because I can't stand not to, but I'm not very employable these days.

Ask them when you can expect to get your severance pay.

It's the coolest thing. It's like one of those electronics experimenting kits you had when you were little except for parsers.
I badly want to post it but it's thousands and thousands of lines of code and I don't know if I have the stamina to write an article for it. 
I don't know. My other parsing articles tend to be well received but this one would dwarf them and I don't even know if there's a lot of interest for something like this. I could spend a week doing nothing but writing about it.

My suggestion would be to first upload (well-documented) code to Github, and then write one or more articles. Start with a small .md, then expand that as time permits. But yes, it does require a time commitment, which is precisely why I haven't (yet) open sourced several of my large (and extensively used) apps.

I'm busy doing my initial commit.
It's taking some time because the VSIX project is huge (hate that!)
That's a good idea to use the github README.md to flesh it out. I think I'll do that.

I wrote something along those lines I call my GLplayground. I use it for messing around with OpenGL. The framework makes it very easy to add a new experiment : add a button to the menu and implement a new object class with just a few methods and it's ready to go. The other day I added a new experiment in about an hour which is exactly why I made the whole thing in the first place. It's rather trailing edge technology so I expect very little interest in it but it makes some really cool images.
Maybe if you make yours flexible enough other people will want to use it for their own experiments. That is, if there are any other people who do those kinds of experiments. I wouldn't know.

I wrote it primarily to help me research how to do LL(k) parsing because I never went to school for compsci - I wound up at microsoft at 18.
So I don't understand a lot of the math formalisms used in such algorithms, although I understand how to code them once I can crack their meaning, if that makes sense. It has been a slog.
I've learned a bunch though already.
Still chasing the holy LL(k) grail though. Right now the project only does LL(1)

As, um, a well-known CP author, my first rule is, write it for yourself first -- it's an immensely useful thing to do, I've found.

absolutely and I totally did that. I love this toy. =D
Edit: oh you mean the article. Who was it that said "I hate writing, but love having written?"

Where are the ones to write the code that I hate writing?

I think you'll have to code the AI first before it can write the code you hate writing.

again, i need elves.
or gnomes maybe.
Which are better at C++?
