I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?
As a background: I am an experienced programmer and do earn my money with it. In my free time I always enjoyed trying out new stuff related to technology, learn new things and improve my skills by doing so. But lately I recognise that I just have no clue what I should do or what a fun toy project I could work on. I really have no ideas. My head just feels completely empty whenever I open my IDE.
So please, tell me what you are coding on for fun.
A lot of the actual coding/scripting work that I’ve done recently has been server stuff. I recently containerized all of my game servers with Docker and bash, and I’m now looking at switching from my current janky Minecraft Docker setup to a fancier setup with autoupdates for Paper and its plugins. I’m far from a professional programmer, so it’s been fun to actually hack together useful things for myself.
