Thanks so much for posting these kinds of projects. I wish everyone would do this, regardless of their skill level. Sharing is the operative word these days.
On a similar note:
In 2020, I prefer we call on less experienced users to ask questions about code, versus the "old style from before 2019" of asking "experts" and "heavy hitters" to improve code.
One of my main goals at unix.com in 2020 is to encourage new users and people with less experience to feel good about asking questions and coding, even if they make a lot of mistakes, and their code is not "pretty", versus promoting "better, cleaner, shorter, standards-based code"......
If we have an environment for the "big guns" or the less than 1% or even 0.1% (or less), this will discourage the 99.9% of people (or more) who are not "big guns"...
I'm trying hard to refocus the site away from "elitism" as was the focus for the past number of years (by evolution, not be design), and toward "sharing", especially for beginners and those who may not normally feel comfortable sharing their code and projects with "experts" or "big guns". This also applies to the latest tech (not legacy tech), where everyone is learning together.

Thanks so much!
