I agree with the premise, but this website makes me feel very stupid / unskilled. 2 months for a basic x86 kernel with keyboard and mouse drivers, elf loading etc? I don’t think 2 months would be enough for me to even partially complete one of the subtasks. Unless this is 2 months of 8-hour 5-day weeks but, no, even then I doubt I could do it.
I love this site !!
I have always wanted to make something but its just so time consuming. I also dont have ideas for something that isnt complex. …and I refuse to use an llm to do it, for me thats fake and not real learning.
I always write toy software. I derive joy from writing in G’MIC.
I would post a “Wait… I know you” picture with the ordered dithering filter used if forced
.webpconversion didn’t muddy the edges/colors further.
I guess, this is different from automating a part of your workflow every so often, in that you don’t yet know the surrounding context. It is the point to just dick around with some new context for a bit.
And if you get bored of it, i.e. you’ve learned enough about the new context, then you can just archive the repo and move on, because you don’t actually need it as a solution.
I’ve always wanted to write a chess engine.
There is the excellent chess programming wiki, but unfortunately it does error 503 for me right now.

It has some pretty good resources to get started, and all the techniques being used.
I might steal that idea
There’s a great book on it. Old, but very well explained. You wont make stockfish, but hey.
There’s a bunch more ideas just like it! All you have to do is
ACTUALLY OPEN THE POST'S LINK.Going for that Futurama Lucy Liu vibe.
Upvote for recommendation to make a GBA game. GBA is seriously a joy to dev for.
