"It started as a weekend stress-relief hack "
"This isn't terribly surprising, since I wrote it to scratch my own idiosyncratic itch"
This is hacker news remember.
- nikolay 11y agoHow can I forget, right? Hackers unite.
- teh_klev 11y agoYes we should. Technically OP should have prefixed with "Show HN:" which is what it is perhaps. Not all "Show HN:" posts exhibit brilliance or originality or solve a problem or as in this case solve a problem for the OP for which there is already an outstanding solution (I guess originality), but the existing solution doesn't fit their use-case. And you know as hackers (I still am at 48 yrs old) if there's an itch needing to be scratched why not show off a bit of code, it's one of the best things about HN, we learn so much from each other this way, either through (constructive) criticism or just looking at a nice bunch of code. So, yes, hackers unite.
