normalize rewriting a piece of software you like and/or have a small beef with. you don't even have to publish the code, just trying to do it better is a fun and rewarding exercise, and you learn a lot!

don't let an LLM do any of it for you, either. learn how the boilerplate works, and make it better. plan out your architecture, find out why your architecture works the way it does, and what you would do better next time. come up with (deterministic) templates that help you get started faster next time, using tools you understand.

bonus points for making it work safely on as many clients as possible. try building it to work without javascript! it's just some server-side logic, you really aren't gonna get to a scale that needs web-app frontends anyway.

it won't be good, or it will. and that's ok.

obligatory: time willing, of course. hard to have enough free time and motivation in this economy to do fun stuff for yourself :neofox_up_sleep:​
