what are some other tutorials for implementing a toy version of a hard thing in a short amount of time? Like https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com or https://raytracing.github.io
I’m especially interested in the “in a short amount of time” aspect, I think nand2tetris is extremely cool but you definitely can’t do it in 3 days.
If possible I'd love to hear about a project you personally did and how long it took you.
@b0rk I did a couple of “code offs” with my kid. He coded in Scratch. I used JavaScript (with a reactive library). Time limit one hour. We did snake and ping. Not “hard things”, but fun to make.

@b0rk With all the AI hype lately, could you write a SLM (Small Language Model)?
I wrote a chatbot framework in around 120 lines of JS too. Perhaps there's something in that?

Again, maybe not the complexity your after, but might spawn other ideas.
