From ~3 minutes of browsing the site, it's not clear to me exactly what the project is. It seems like 'just' a distribution of python with lots of the numpy/scipy/sympy ecosystem bundled? There's somethin

The author's post aligns with a lot of ADHD narrative. If the author is reading, consider getting evaluated. That said, why do we spend so much time not being productive? Because we're not obligated to be productive 24/7.

this is mostly where I'm at. One of the problems is that I'm not going to work on a project just for the sake of working on it. If I'm going to work on a project in my personal time, it needs to have personal significance to
