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.

Aggressively avoid over-engineering, restrict yourself to only whatever code is necessary to achieve your goal.

I have to repeatedly tell myself this when building out prototypes. It’s surprisingly difficult to not get lost in the weeds doing something not immediately necessary like setting up CI/CD or modularizing components.

I’ve always wanted to write a chess engine.
