gollark: I've even written a blog post complaining about "learn to code" things!
gollark: So many things are just consigned to my `~/Programming` folder, forever half-finished.
gollark: It's not actually very complex and I'm not massively good. I've just done it for a while.
gollark: I've made my website (static-site-generated), a really slow search engine thing, dice roller, automatic music player thing which just runs from a directory of metadata-tagged music files, a Discord bot for something, Meme Economy Autotrader, a moderately popular browser extension for automating some specific task in an online game, various random "experiments" on my website, a virus for computers in a Minecraft computer mod (and many, many other things for that), and probably other random stuff.
gollark: I do programming myself, but I really only make random projects either for personal use, mild evil, or fun. They're basically all released as open source.
