THIS IS SOOOOO INSPIRING.
With all the FAANG and the Leetcodes and promotions and L6 - L7 TC and all of this nonsense, true hacker spirit and the fun of just building cool stuff with technology has gone from the hacker space. In fact, the hacker space is actually shrinking.
Projects like these and people like Andreas Kling, are a beacon of hope and light during these troubled times.
May more people be inspired with this and commit to the path of a true hacker.

Now you can't take a step without hearing people talk about how they are joining Slack or whatever with great comp as a Team Lead and building slow as hell software.
