I just started a project. For those Linux nerds out there (like me), I use Arch, btw. The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a place where Arch Linux users can get packages that aren't on the package manager or other places i.e Spotify. At the moment, the best tool to get these packages (in my opinion) is Yay, but it is a heavy project written in Go. It is quite slow. So I am making my own Yay, but in shell script (bash).

Introducing... raurt!
Random Arch User Repository Tool
The project is being hosted on GitLab, but I haven't made any changes or even properly started it yet. Stay tuned to see what I do with it!

Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

Recently I came to realize that Jotto 2020, a game which I created 14 months ago for a software hackathon contest, had the potential to become a world-wide pop culture phenomenon.

As a contest submission, the game finished poorly in the standings. As a form of leisure, the game was received well by "word-nerds" like myself, but it never really captured the imagination of anyone. Pride was not something I was feeling then.

Today in 2022, I can look back to that time with a semblance of pride. Perhaps my creation was not merely a quaint, esoteric little puzzle game. Perhaps it was actually something special after all.

@tonedef71 you should definitely feel proud. You were very creative and followed through with many aspects of this game. It sure was not merely a quaint, esoteric little puzzle game. With the latest (Jan 31, 2022) NYTimes story of them acquiring Wordle, you should continue with your creative efforts. Good luck!

My win this week is that I returned!
I got hired last october and I've been far from my usual dev communities (github, dev.to, stackoverflow) because I didn't have much time... But now I'm slowly picking them up again. I think it will pass some time until I write a post again, but at least I answered some issues and PRs in Candle, started answering again in SO and commenting here.
I don't want my job to take all my dev energy, so this makes me happy :)
