Non-developer learning to ship. I build stuff I probably shouldn't, usually things that already exist but don't fit my very niche, slightly silly needs. It's as much about the learning as the tool: I learn by doing, so building it myself is half the point. To keep myself accountable, I set a challenge: build 12 things in 12 months.
