Ask HN: What's Your Side Project?
It's really motivating to hear about what people are working on in the late hours at night or the wee hours of the morning.
So HN, what are you all working on outside of your day jobs?

- max0563 7y agoCan you elaborate a bit more on this?
- thrownblown 7y agoSure. It's a courier company management tool that tracks delivery jobs, staff and clients. We automate many repetitive tasks like order intake and have tools to surface delivery data for analysis like peak volume periods by day of the week or Geo. The business of it has given me a venue to learn various web techs in a real production environment as well allowed me to be an active care giver to my kid and probably got me my job now considering I'm a highschool dropout.
- max0563 7y agoWow, well good on you that sounds really good. Have a link you can share?
- doon386 7y agoFor a while it was the Multics CPU emulator/simulator. After we got Multics to boot it was no fun anymore :-)
- max0563 7y agoSounds like a lot of cool learning was done though :)
- doon386 7y agoYes, much learning and loathing. The "Official" docs for the CPU were less than complete or even accurate.
- unused0 7y agoGetting multiple CPUs running has been quite an adventure.
- doon386 7y agoYup, sadly. I still like the idea of putting a ge635 in an FPGA. :-)
- Asafp 7y agoDevDucky, AI tool that helps engineers fully understand the company's code and product. just finished and launched the landing page. www.devducky.com I am really having fun working on this, combining my love for NLP and software engineer.
- max0563 7y agoWow this is really freaking cool!! You just made a tool that auto documents bits of code this is incredibly useful.
