Tinker Tuesday for February 25, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Hmm.. That sounds sensible to me, and roughly what I expected/feared. Still, I'll probably give it a shot, given that I write anyway for this audience, then I don't think I'm doing too much extra work, and it has its upsides. Thanks!

Well, on the flip side, I periodically get notifications that people started following me, and all I ever do is comment (and I do so very rarely). I always thought they're bots, but maybe I'm too pessimistic. I definitely encourage giving it a try (just don't abandon us once you make it big)!

Aww.. I don't mean to, I'm fond of this place (or I wouldn't volunteer my time to janny it, let alone have >3k comments). I've already had the value of my free time multiplied massively courtesy of the large nominal and relative pay raise going from a third world country to a (debatable) first world one entails, and I'm still here haha.

Even if I was purely mercenary, I think that half of the AAQCs I write are in response to things someone else said over here. It's a fertile breeding ground for ideas and strong arguments for said ideas, not many places like it out there.
