He also used to post about it on 4chan's technology board, especially on the daily programming thread. Plenty of pictures and videos showing off progress as well as discussion of implementation details. https://warosu.org/g/?task=search2&search_text=awesomekling&search_ord=old https://warosu.org/g/?task=search2&search_text=awesomekling&... Definitely among the coolest things I've ever seen on 4chan.

  While I agree with you, that is an impressively humble attitude. Having watched some of the early history, you can take at least partial credit for building some of those contributors as well. It was a different time, but Linux did not come so far so fast. Damn Scandinavians!

    >Damn Scandinavians! Yeah it's a state of mind, you do something for and with a community and not exclusively for your personal gains. In the US that was often compared to communism (just listen to the questions from reporters in the early day of Linux)

      Scandinavian here. It's not a political thing, maybe more as a side effect of living in a society that promotes well-thougth actions and good planing and gives you the tools to achieve things. That being said, I consider the the Scandinavian "socialism" the perfect combination of communism-light and capitalism-light: you can get rich if you work hard, but your boss can't get extremely rich by paying you far below a living wage. In the long run it's a win-win for everyone.

        Adding to what nix23 said, it gets made political by those who cannot comprehend social norms and cultural differences outside of their own experience and can only interpret "different" as "antagonistic". > living in a society that promotes well-thougth actions and good planing and gives you the tools to achieve things. Sounds beautiful to me.

      > Yeah it's a state of mind, you do something for and with a community and not exclusively for your personal gains. That's just as common in the U.S. - but you need a strong community of practice with high standards of achievement to really achieve this mindset. (In the real world, this would of course be an actual, physical community bound to a well-defined place, ultimately with similarly strict norms of acceptance, behavior etc.) And that can get in the way of contemporary norms against perceived "gatekeeping". Though it's interesting to see that some communities of practice (e.g. the one which is forming around Rust and Redox OS) are being more successful in navigating this challenge.

Not to be confused with TempleOS, another interesting (not only for the obvious reasons) from-scratch OS whose creator used to regularly stream.

  I first learned about Andreas from seeing one of his videos about TempleOS [1][2] when I was first playing with TempleOS and learning (Holy)C. There are a few forks of TempleOS around, I made a post about one a couple months back.

  It's still maintained under the name ZealOS: https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS

    The original author, Terry Davis, died in 2018. There have been numerous forks, and ZealOS is one of the active ones. But TempleOS proper will remain as it is.

His recent pet sub-project seems to be getting Discord working in their ground up home grown web browser, that series just started with only the first video being posted so far so a great time to hop in and watch some of the development flow.
