Building a plaid / pattern designer. Someone I closely know is a much sought-after fabric designer, but tends to use primitive tools. I swear, I've seen them make pictures and catalogues in Excel.

I've never been a web dev, but I've set myself a challenge to make something for them. 2 weeks in, I've got a hacky ugly-ish MVP, but hey - it seems to be doing its job :)

I've long struggled with retaining what I read. It feels like I've trained my brain to enjoy the quick dopamine hits from, for example, reading short stories or, say, seeing a problem someone has that my brain can pretend to solve. Sites like Reddit or StackExchange.

Yes, maybe I interpret text in my head and build mental models, but my brain just throws them away as soon as the story is over. Ask me what I read about 5 minutes later and I swear, I won't be able to tell.
