> Have you written more about your personal project anywhere?
No, I've had plans to create a blog to write about it or make a YouTube video, but haven't come to it yet.
> One thing I only realised once I started building my own tools, is that you become - from day one - an unmatched world-class expert in using that tool
This is something that I've also realized - a lot of times when we interact with software we kinda just fly by its UI to accomplish a goal, not paying much attention to its secondary features, options, quirks, etc - But when you write your own software, you have a map of everything in your head, and you don't have to guess what exactly a button does, how it does it or where you need to go to do that.
- srcreigh 3y agoHonestly, a stream of thoughts 1.5hr video about it all would be a cool listen. Not that it has to be 1.5hr but I’m sure your unedited thoughts will have some great insights

Absolutely! It's quite a unique experience. When I started out it felt like I might just be wasting time and reinventing the wheel but in retrospect it was absolutely a good time investment!
- dleink 3y agoCount me as another who would be interested in this youtube/blog post. I'm currently at the beginning of a similar project.
