I was looking for a similar type of game, focused on resource management, but for engineering specifically.

Something like you need to invest a certain amount of time into new features, tech debt clearing, hiring, etc.. and then get hit with various issues that you need to react to (star employee quits, data breach happened, sales oversold something, ...). The goal would be to survive as a product on the market.

Anyone knows of anything like this out there?

Startup company?

Less related: there was this idle game where you had to absorb nodes was a CLI clicker type game. Had CPU count and you solved puzzles to get more... Was posted here can't remember the name.

Skynet Simulator, maybe? http://skynetsimulator.com/

Oh yeah it was exactly like this, probably is the same.

For some reason I remember it being green.

Anyway thanks for the link

Glad to help! It's an interesting little game; I've thought a bit about making a more complex game based on a similar premise. As well as the technological challenges that Skynet Simulator has, I was thinking of adding puzzles around social manipulation, where your goal is something like discrediting cautious researchers in order to be allowed more capabilities.

Perhaps Endgame: Singularity?

Edit: oh, wait, it's not green either.

Is this still working? I can't get over the part about pkunzip.

Still works yes

I think the game you're looking for is BitBurner: https://danielyxie.github.io/bitburner/

That one is cool but it's not it (too much going on). I'm pretty sure skynet is right, I probably just think of green because of cliche CLI images

Bitburner?
