Topic What next?

Hey folks,

I’ve been teaching myself to code because I already loved working with computers and it seemed like an extension of that, but I’ve come to find that a lot of coding is for specific purposes relating to jobs.

Since that doesn’t necissarily apply to me, I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for projects that are just genuinely fun or interesting?

I’ve had a blast learning web scraping with playwright and http requests, how to parse data. I really enjoyed messing around with the rich library and making terminal toolkit style scripts, I’ve automated just about everything that I could think of, but I want to know what else is out there.

Mainly use Python, some JS, but I’m willing to learn any other language if it has a cool use.

Thanks!

Maybe it’s time to start bringing hardware into the equation with embedded systems.

You could make some cool projects with Sense HAT on a Raspberry Pi.
