Where to find the Code-Op

Wow, thanks for the stickies! Love all the activity in this thread. I love our coding comrades!


Hey fellow Hexbearions! I have no idea what I'm doing! However, born out of the conversations in the comments of this little thing I posted the other day, I have created an org on GitHub that I think we can use to share, highlight, and collaborate on code and projects from comrades here and abroad.

  • I know we have several bots that float around this instance, and I've always wondered who maintains them and where their code is hosted. It would be cool to keep a fork of those bots in this org, for example.
  • I've already added a fork of @[email protected]'s Emoji repo as another example.
  • The projects don't need to be Hexbear or Lemmy related, either. I've moved my aPC-Json repo into the org just as an example, and intend to use the code written by @[email protected] to play around with adding ICS files to the repo.
  • We have numerous comrades looking at mainlining some flavor of Linux and bailing on windows, maybe we could create some collaborative documentation that helps onboard the Linux-curious.
  • I've been thinking a lot recently about leftist communication online and building community spaces, which will ultimately intersect with self-hosting. Documenting various tools and providing Docker Compose files to easily get people off and running could be useful.

I don't know a lot about GitHub Orgs, so I should get on that, I guess. That said, I'm open to all suggestions and input on how best to use this space I've created.

Also, I made (what I think is) a neat emblem for the whole thing:

Todos

  • Mirror repos to both GitHub and Codeberg
  • Create process for adding new repos to the mirror process
  • Create a more detailed profile README on GitHub.

Done

i always think i'm a good programmer and then i see some open-sourced code some folks did in their spare time that blows my mind and I realise i still know nothing a decade into coding lmao

this looks really cool, i might see what i can do to help out/if there's anything worth adding to the repo at some point :))

3 years of coding in college that was basically all about math, puzzle solving, and applying data structures, only to then go and actually work on a real web project as a full stack dev: oh it's all API calls and database crap isn't it

edit: or if you do systems programming then it's all about combobulating 5 different antediluvean libraries together and memory management (Rust stays on top)

Solving puzzles is fun, but I can count on one hand the amount of times that the solution to a real world problem was some novel algorithm and not just throwing another hash map at it.

I have used a couple recursive DFS solutions to things, feeling all clever, then it breaks as the search depth increases so I switch to just memoizing in a hash map and it removes the recursion issue and gives major speedup.

Elegant solutions pretty frequently give away to messy, practical ones that don't feel as clever.
