This is largely a note to self, to serve as a reminder of the purpose of this when the novelty wears off.

Reasons

  1. @visakanv's do 100 things. I am impatient and having a number to complete is good. I'd earnestly desire to get results, amazing ones even by 10th iteration. Maybe 5th. Bad habits those were.
  2. to hold myself accountable
  3. to be better at putting down thoughts in a STRUCTURED FASHION
  4. to complement my code work,
  5. to let people know what I'm working on, maybe get a shoutout. But my twitter is for that the most.
  6. To keep track of my work. I have the unfortunate tendency to forget about past achievements, burn bridges with what once was a goal of mine. That does not lead to a stable identity, but a constant blank slate. Not something desirable for socializing. I think reminding myself of decent work I'd have done will keep me going when learning curves and stress pile up.
  7. To share interesting stuff that I do. That's a rule tbf. I don't want to post about other stuff. That would be Goodharting. I want to have motivation to do my own stuff to have more to share. Posting about other stuff would be counteractive to this system.

I guess that's all. Here could go some cheeky comment to the 'future me', but idc. I have projects to do.
