Down the Rabbit HoleA brief introduction to the reasons for starting this site and where it's going
As someone who starts a lot of projects just to never finish them, I finally figured out how to find a use for my sudden rush of boredom with projects. I created this Wonderland
as a playground for all the little things I want to try out.
In addition to snippets of code, I'll write thoughts and ideas down that led me to those snippets in the first place.
Just a Matter of Time
It's not really boredom in its own sense. Sudden loss of motivation would fit better, I guess. I assume a lot of people have a similar hard time being motivated for a project long enough to see it through.
For me, it's not the amount of time I spent on a project or the amount of work waiting for me. It's the thought I know how to solve this particular problem. Everything else is now just a matter of typing it out.
that kills my motivation.
Using Boredom as a Tool
Since I don't seem to be able to finish projects as a whole, I figured that I'll use this site to test my ideas somewhere without having to make a project out of it. This way I can still test the core of a solution and at the same time create some kind of portfolio of my skills.
More than just Code
The only project
I keep on working on for years are my diaries. I'm writing my thoughts and emotions down on a semi-regular basis since 2013. It helps me to unclutter my brain and see things from a different perspective.
The idea is to write the problems and ideas down, so that I'll see them from a different perspective and find better and more elegant solutions.
What's coming next?
As I'll add more problems and their solutions this page will hopefully grow with new features and designs. I plan on adding features like a navigation, once the need arises. Since there are no more pages on here at the time of writing this, there is no point in writing one.
Hermann IbragimowAfter one semester Information Technology Studies in Cologne, one semester Information Science and Language Technology in Dusseldorf and one semester Computational Linguistics back in Cologne, I started working full time at Studitemps GmbH without finishing any bachelor's degree. This just shows how I drop things if they don't catch me completely. I hope this page won't be one of my unfinished projects.
