Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

My ex used to be pissed when I spent whole day coding and dont wrote her a single message...

It was way back before gpt and twilio, so I bent one IRC bot and wrote collection of warm messages that was send via SMS on a pseudorandom timeframe. We broke up when she finds out ... Luckly for both of us I guess.
