- treme 5y agojust wanted to thank you again. I'm just on the verge of diving into studying coding as a career, and seeing what you did with your skills to make an entire product to "fight the powers be" truly inspired me to learn to build things.
- rhaksw 5y agoHaha great! You'll be glad you got into it. You can do a lot with a little effort. This project began as a 100-line tampermonkey script. There are a surprising number of things you can work on that nobody else is doing, or that could be improved with your unique point of view. Of course you need to spend some time building your skills, but the tools are improving which makes it easier to build useful things. It can be hard to get your ideas heard while working for someone else, and having a side project can let you explore your creative side. My take on "fighting the powers" is we are all susceptible to bias, greed, etc, and we can put our faith in open systems that allow us to see when these human factors have run amuck.
