Great read (: This is precisely how I learn, even though these days it all feels a little futile.
The other part for me is working within tight constraints. A couple of years back I made an Operating System that fits a bootloader (I was low-key hoping to find in the list :P) Not really golfing but surely a good exercise in playing within constraints.

A native application (Windows, Linux, MacOS) for music transcription.
It comes with time stretch and pitch shift as most of these softwares do, but it allows you to save loop regions and take notes. It's designed to be a practice session tool.
I'm doing it from first principles, and having fun writing GPU code, platform shims, and squeeze every ms I can to make it fast and smooth.
I will be looking for testers soon. If anybody is interested, hit me up.

Is this how we bring "works on my machine" in production? /s

Kinda OT: can anybody recognize the keyboard in the German keyboard shot? I have been looking for a similar ISO keyboard (with international layout) for a while

I have played with that idea for a while until I realized I was creating a poor man's web browser in the terminal.
At that point I started wondering if converting my man folder to HTML and using lynx[1] wasn't a better idea.
I ended up using vanilla man again.
Are there better/fancier manpage readers out there that can change my mind?

Such a great read! Reminds me of the bootsector OS I made some time ago[^1]
Maybe it's time to equip it with a C compiler...
