    Yeah. I am currently only doing projects to learn how to do things I want to learn like writing physics code, CAD software from scratch, etc. My hope is to turn it into a company. Maybe, after the AI bubble bursts, I can start looking for some funding.

      "Whoa, is it floating in the air? No! Listen, I'm into it. That's cool as hell. That just lets you know how NATURAL and ORGANIC the code is!" -- Free Apple Application.

      Also yeah imagine if I did anything, let alone having a project worthy of the thought of uploading it anywhere.

        That’s great. I don’t want that burden either way.

          I'm an amateur programmer at best, and the height of my programming "career" was when my friend told me their IT was using my tool internally. It has a few hundred stars on GitHub now, so not too bad. Sad thing is that I have other projects that I actually am passionate about, but they don't get much love.

            This implies that my code lives outside of modern tech. I write pure assembly

                No, you gotta be making your own transistors.
                The one on the bottom is the CPU architectures.

                    GitHub is like programmer OnlyFans. Only the top .1% gets millions of downloads.

                        My project has been used by random companies at some point, never again, I can't recommend it to anyone. At first it was nice to have my stuff getting real world use but the never ending issues asking for new features and pressure to keep everything up to date was exhausting. It was a relief to archive it, never again.

                          On the other hand, once it gets used and depended upon by several companies, you could have them in your hands. Screw them over, break their shit. Or… start charging? Maybe go for a license / ??? that allows for free use but requests payment for paid use

                                    Sorry, but I use my real name on GitHub.

                                    I can say that it's not a very complex project, and I think that simplicity is probably why people like it.

                                        I tried to get paid consulting from it but never got a penny. But you're right, if I were more aggressive it could have worked as supplemental income.
