The problem I've noticed is that scrolling numbers are way easier to implement than useful GUIs. I have half-joked that GUIs are an unsolved problem. Someone called me out and said that so many GUI frameworks exist. I now think I am no

It bugged me 20 years ago as a kid. I just wanted more stuff like Rock Raiders. "They're miners... in space! They mine green Energy Crystals!" That's all you need. There was a K'nex mining set about the same time. G

I find myself craving examples for _everything_ even as someone experienced with a variety of tools. So much documentation for APIs, CLI programs, _everything_ is painfully lacking in examples. Or the examples will be just totally wrong or
