What is while True: learn()?

A single-player puzzle game about a coder trying to build a translator for a cat that understands machine learning but cannot speak human language. Across puzzles and freelance jobs, you wire ready-made blocks into flowcharts to sort data by shape and color while meeting accuracy, speed, and cost limits. Jobs pay for hardware upgrades, and notes explain the techniques behind the blocks.
