#GitHubCopilot seems like the next step towards a paradigm shift of making programming accessible to everyone.

Designed an overhead spool mount to get my 3D printer back up and running. Ready to get stuck back into completing some projects now.

Got a little burnt out writing Python for the Advent of Code. A month of delving back into C++ has really put things back in perspective, we have it so easy with high-level languages. #Programming #Coding

And sorry Santa, I'm a little bit late on returning the keys to the sleigh...

Advent of Code 2021? Completed it mate. I've never stuck it out to the end before and some of the days are HARD! Now I have so much more respect for the programmers who finish this year after year #AoC2021 #Python

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Day 14 of #AoC2021 was a huge time sink, finally figured out a method to solve it that wasn't going to take 417 hours to execute #Python

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Day two of advent of code 2021, a lot less stressful when you start it on time. Check out my progress before I drift into insanity with the more difficult tasks https://t.co/igVkYcSD8Z #AOC2021 #Python

Almost ready to test out one of these fellas #oshpark #oshw

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Early Christmas present from @oshpark, so exited to test this pATX NAS breakout board #oshw #kicad #oshpark

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Designing a purpose-built NAS from scratch is turning into a massively time-consuming project.

Retrofitting 3.5" SAS drive caddies for my IBM x3250 M4 server, owning a 3D printer makes things so easy! #3DPrinting

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Really disappointed that TravisCI has done a complete 180 on supporting OSS. Seems short-sighted forcing the community that promotes you commercially to migrate all their OSS projects to Github Actions... #TravisCI #OpenSource

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Fun weekend project: Prototyping my raspberry pi zero surveillance cameras. #RaspberryPi #Opensource

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Not sure if i am proud to be the 836th largest donor to python or sad that there's only 827 other sponsors between myself and Google.

6 days straight of power coding sessions after work, still only 12 tasks in #AdventOfCode

[Steve Richardson @CreatingNull]

Kicking off #AdventOfCode pretty late, cramming to catch up now!

The chocolatey package manager is an absolute game-changer, making windows slightly less clunky. #NuGet #OneGet

When did static linters get so good? #jetbrains #programming #machineswillreplaceprogrammers

Shoutout to the routers in IT-based businesses all around the country being hounded by inbound traffic from their staff working remotely #covid19 #StayHomeNZ
