I have been hearing this advice from multiple practitioners: when learning programming, work on a project, don’t just do courses. Doing courses is good, while you are learning new stuff, but to get hands-on experience you need to build something tangible and something on your own. And of course there are always tons of ideas for what can be built.

At the same time I have been (for a long time now) struggling with my (almost abandoned) Telegram channel called non-artificial intelligence. I barely post there and any new post comes like once in a year. So I guess it would be brilliant to build a bridge between this site and my Telegram channel. Not only would this service mirror links to new posts here, it could also generate something new each day with ChatGPT when I do nothing. It would NOT write for me, but it could generate some memes or other images and post them each day when I am not active here.

I am not sure if such a Telegram service/bot should (or can) be built with C++ so I may end up choosing another language for this particular project. Anyway, I will document everything and post the progress here.
