I appreciate the effort. But why not put the skills into something that would be genuinely useful to others or solve a pain point? Open source the results or handover to someone who would like to maintain it.

There’s a lot of things people do for fun that don’t have an obvious purpose. Life isn’t about spending your every waking hour doing something useful in my opinion.

I can dig a ditch and cover it up innumerable times. If you are doing something out of boredom, at least make it useful to someone. Probably would give you a sense of purpose in solving a problem.
