It's easier to control your grow lights than to write the equivalent for someone else. All the unspoken assumptions about how the system ought to work are yours. Therefore you don't have to fill in the gaps of someone else's attempt at describing what they want.
- xxs 5y agoTechnically I did it for my spouse and her flowers [grow lights did require designing and soldering all the power and electronics control circuits - which admittedly I am less verse than writing code], but again I can't quite see the difference between my daily job and personal projects in terms of understanding the matter. If anything personal projects have less room for failure as by their own definition are quite more ambitious. While there is no intrinsic care about scale, running it remotely, no downtime, APIs misuse, etc. - it's very much the same process with writing, debugging, refactoring, deploying and so on.
