Everything you mentioned OpenClaw does is also something that Hermes supports. Hermes also supports project-scoped kanban boards and can orchestrate across multiple specialized Hermes profiles.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to my hobby app, a social scorekeeper and ranker for pinball players, Pindigo. It’s free; there are over 11k users posting scores. It also has locations, user groups, and leaderboards. https://www.pindigo.app

I've been a senior engineer for several years now and feel that I would enjoy the jump to principal engineer. Are there any recommended coursework or books that would help me with this?

Professionally, I'm working on the frontend of a radio frequency propagation simulator for 3D "digital twins" of cities/regions. This uses ImGui under the hood, but is wrapped by Python. It's a bit of a pain, but I came up with a class that allows the UI to be composed in a manner more akin to React Components.

For fun, I just implemented a finite-state machine for a videogame I'm working on in Rust. It's used to swap out sprite animations depending on the state of its parent entity. I'm glad to be solving problems I'd never come across in my normal line of work.

M.S. in Data Science - Dec '21

I've spent the last 6 years planning and building HIPAA-compliant web applications in Javascript.

As a hobbyist homelabber and the sole technical developer of a hobby app for 8k users, I also have experience with mobile app development, network engineering, sysadmin, and devops.

The preprocessing suggestions I see are to crop out everything except for the numbers and I don’t know how to do that programmatically. There’s many kinds of displays: rollers, 7-segment, dot matrix, and LCD.

The preprocessing to increase DPI to 300 did not help when I tried Tesseract, unfortunately. It’s hard to achieve a good contrast between the numbers and the backdrop

I really hope the rust implementation of Matrix helps. I reboot my Matrix container daily because if I don't it'll quickly eat through the 12GB of memory I've allocated it. I run a 3 person instance.

I have a free social network app that makes $122/month on Patreon[0] (from 43 patrons). Userbase is about 3.4k with ~200 DAU. I offer in-app recognition and the ability to vote monthly on what features I work on. I won't be quitting my job, but it's nice to not have to pay for servers and marketing out of pocket.

Waking Up with Sam Harris. It's an app for iOS. Sam Harris is a very insightful philosopher and neuroscientist. He explains things in a very concise and concrete way that I value above my experience with Headspace.
