The blissful zen of a good side project

joshcollinsworth.com/blog/the-blissful-zen-of-a-good-side-project

It doesn’t matter what the project is; it matters that it is.

You don’t need to know where it’s going to lead. For that matter, it doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Nothing ever has to come of it. It’s ok if this project never even exists, as far as anyone else is concerned. Failure isn’t failure; it’s part of the process. It’s done when you’re done with it.

So whatever your side project is: I encourage you to pick it up, and let that part of you exist (again).

If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown

p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/02/markdown-saves

I like the idea, but my laziness makes me avoid any non-automatic methods. I’d prefer a format similar to Mycomarkup or Markdown, but with built-in support for embedding images and other binary content, turning a web article into a single file. I’m aware of data: images in Markdown, but they’re not very convenient to use.

Ask HN: Programmers who don't use autocomplete/LSP, how do you do it?

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42492508

Really intresting comments

This question reminds me of the first time I met a blind programmer. I asked him how he managed to code, and he replied with something that stayed with me: a good programmer should organize software in such a way that every piece of code has a clear and logical place. The organization should be so intuitive that anyone could build a mental model of the structure and navigate it easily, even without seeing it.

Harmonic Table Keyboard Brings Old Idea Back To Life

hackaday.com/2024/06/17/harmonic-table-keyboard-brings-old-idea-back-to-life

The layout provides easier chord and scale patterns, and for beginner musicians it can have a much shallower learning curve than other types of instruments.
