I am going to use this post to mark down ideas I have for blogs and projects to build - and hopefully over time they will link out to me actually doing those things!

Project Ideas

  • The parknotes project for note taking in the terminal - ongoing likely forever. Link here!
  • Working through Rustlings
  • Understanding Datafusion and it’s place amongst polars and spark
  • Making a TUI for different data structures
  • Krogle - a Wordle clone using public Kroger APIs. I am an employee of corporate Kroger should I should be well equipped to do something fun/cool with the data.
  • Daily typing test CLI - AWS hosted app that creates a typing test every day that people can do in the terminal, and then times are visible online. Fun for a daily little game against your friends!
  • Build something in Rust/Go/Python and compare the experience - maybe start with 10 days of Advent of Code

Blog Ideas

  • The impact of AI Code Assistants on learning - how do junior devs learn the ropes in a world where Copilot does the “menial” work?
  • My work stack - neovim + kitty + Colemak split keyboard, and what I get out of these
  • Commentary on recent “scalable programming languages” post I saw on hackernews
  • Comparison of kitty to alacritty + zellij
