You know what would be nice? Coding and exploring for personal fun instead of for work! Even outside of work it's become about work now, because the market is so toxicly exigent!

Can't wait to do my own side projects.

    I'm exploring with code and I want to scream

    I've never had such a filthy codebase before

    That's what I'm doing. Writing a regex matcher, an advanced sudoku solver for generating as hard possible puzzle's using multiple threads. Making an own VIM using the same shortcuts with support for scripting using the wren language. Just created an amazing bottom bar for in terminal apps - thread safe. I added network capabilities to the wren programming language. I benchmarked that with Deno and C web server. Wrote a C web server, implemented my regex resolver written in C in to Deno using FFI. Will benchmark my resolver against the JS one. Create a self hosted instance of vscode web. Wrote a brainfuck interpreter with extra functionality. Made my own zip application that google can't read so it won't mark my archives as virus anymore. Worked on monty hall problem. Made a merge tool for local files of C projects (concat's all header files, removes duplicates). Maintaining my own library with much used functions and it pays of allot. I just type #include <rlib.h> everywhere.Not bored!

    I won't share my github btw, it would be doxxing. But it's quite sick. I implemented a statistics page and gives you trophies. I have trophies for:

    - master dev

    - rainbow lang user (many languages)

    - high repo creator (don't know why, I only have 43)

    - village elder trophy for being a github user since 2011

    Current streak: 35 days. I want to try to do a year.

    In total I have 2500+ contributions.

    Very sad detail - for years I almost didn't commit anything to github. I created beautiful cloud platforms for image sharing and also made a nice project to run the real vim in the browser. It worked with resizing + shortcuts and everything. But from now on, I put everything online. It's my discography (too cool for a resume).

    Codeium also keeps nice track of everything you do. I couldn't find a good statistics tool for vscode. I would like to track better

    @jestdotty what AI bot are you using? Did you try codeium? It's freaking amazing. I selected whole source and asked it to prefix all function names, global variables and struct. It did it in one time without problems. It did more than 150 changes. The global vars used in the functions also had to be renamed and it did. Would take myself a while but also would've made many mistakes. Just CTRL+I and tell it what to do. I never let it write something, only optimize. For coding concepts I just use ChatGPT
