Yeah, I think it goes into a similar spirit to what you described, in the sense that you keep things in you in a format you can use later in life.
It wasn’t always so orderly. It really started as a bunch of loose directories with different things. I only actually put it under source control recently when I decided to organize it a bit better. I was surprised with the things I found. Some I had forgotten. Like experiments with new libraries, or even trying programming languages.
This is a great idea! I keep a personal journal, in which I also write about work but not to this level of details.
What I do is to have a repository with experiments and other documentation. For example, when I try new programming languages or libraries, I put it there. When I learn new commands or tricks with commands, I put it there. I sometimes just straight write some documentation about something I did or learn and put it in the repository.
The repository is then highly searchable, and it has been vital for my work life. I’ve been keeping it since school times, so it’s well over a decade old.
Damn, you got me!
I had to watch a few videos to understand what I was suppose to do. Really didn’t get it at the start. But I think they also improved the interface and such.
Factorio just makes hours disappear, it’s an amazing game! Have you played the expansion?
This is awesome. He said indeed also that he had himself a lot of fun designing levels and places for video games, so he though making a video game out of the very process of designing a level would be cool.
A project from Will Wright that always fascinated me is SimAnt, a game from 1991 where you build an ant colony.
Deadlock
It brought me a new multi-player experience, something to share with friends, and it is super fun. I also don’t get toxicity out of it.
I think that the fact I keep voice audio muted helps me not to get to much toxicity D:
