Crazy idea I just had: a backronym generator program. You type in the acronym letters, and it selects random words to fit. Pick any words you want to keep and redraw the rest.

An improved version would allow picking a theme from a list. Words that fit the theme are given a higher weighting (thus selected more often).

The ultimate version would use AI to allow you to freely enter text that will be used to guide the generator.

Does anyone remember tech posters? They were sheets with parameters to frequently used programming functions, UNIX commands, etc. In the 1990s (without always-on Internet), they were real life savers. Even in the 2020s, they can save time & energy.

The last 2 weeks, I've been wishing I had one for SAS string manipulation functions. I'm guessing such a thing doesn't exist, so maybe I have to make it myself. LMK if you have one.
