Maybe try it from the other way around : look for tutorials that help you achieve your goals, and contextualise the tutorial to your project.

I am wrapping up the Django tutorial because I needed to make a database that held the information on where I put my taxes instead of just ramming them in the downloads folder. I just followed the django tutorial on the official website, but changed variable names etc to make it suit my needs.

I’m also working on improving my bash skills. I made a clock chime to learn cases :

maybe I need to bother the good people at the music department at my local uni(s)

good luck

My sound is a free airplane liner crew communication chime

I just need a cleaner sound because the chime I found is kinda noisy.

oooooooo… I should try it.

EDIT : for others, you might need to set up/enable terminal bell

Fighting Time Blindness one chime at a time.

I feel so seen 🥲, thank you so much. I’m happy it helped you, thank you for letting me know it’s useful to you.

I’ve had to up it to once every 10, and I’m considering lowering it to 5 or 6, and changing the case statement to be a division/modulus calcuation.

There’s various sound effects on https://www.myinstants.com/ , I’m using one of the airhorn sounds from there 🙈

Contributing is what you do to other people’s projects once you are done making your own stupid things, and feel confident you will improve rather than ruin other people’s stuff.

The problem is, things never feel like they are complete. There’s always more you can do.

I might do some contribs to lichess once I am done with my current stuff.

Shameless plug : I recently finished a longterm project :

I’m trying to get established, I’ve just got a few more things to sort out before I can start putting stuff out there regularly.

I make music and write programs

if you hate JS and think it’s dumb, but still have to use it, look into Eloquent Javascript (free) https://eloquentjavascript.net/ and the mozilla docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.

Eloquent JS is written by someone who also hates JS, but understands it very well.

I used them while I worked on the Microtonal Music Grid (still in progress)
