Seriously! "Look at my new to do app" is how you say "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" without saying "I'm a junior dev who just learned how to program" ;)

So what. If we allowed posts from only the most enlightened programmers whose elegant architectural energy allows them to hover 6 inches off the ground HN would be empty.

Condescending much?

I for one think it’s refreshing to see someone just posting a cool project they worked on without it being the next coming of Jesus or some AI-powered/coded nonsense people only pretend to care about so they can feel they are “on top of today’s tech”.

HN nowadays is too LinkedIn-like for comfort, with people posting their larger-than-God projects and humble-brag filled articles.

Kudos to the author of this project.

Never mind the self-appointed greybeards using this as their own little podium. Hope you had fun making it (and learning with it!).
