In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, the pressure to constantly adopt new frameworks and libraries is immense. While they offer quick solutions and enticing features, an overreliance on them can create a ticking time bomb for your code's longevity. Let's explore how reducing dependencies and focusing on core language fundamentals can future-proof your code.

Since the Google timer is gone, I have implemented my own. Specify the desired hours, minutes, and seconds, then click start. The timer counts down, and sounds an audible alarm when the time reaches zero.

This mini project, built with completion engine assistance, is a Texas Hold'em poker match simulator. Choose the number of players, and press "Play" to deal a hand. The hand ranks and winner(s) are declared automatically.
It uses Unicode characters for the card representations, which your OS must support for the cards to be displayed. Try it out below!

With AI completion engine assistance I created this fourth mini project, a memory game. I think this is starting to push what's possible with these natural language engines, as I had to finish parts of this manually. It's still largely constructed with pieces from the completion engine.
It's easy for the code to become a mess when trying to generate things piecemeal like this, and it can be frustrating when the engine doesn't understand your prompt. I'm feeling inspired to create my own interface to the completion engine.
The timer starts when you flip the first card. How long will it take to match all the cards?

The third entry in my mini project series. When I discovered there are die face Unicode characters, I had to build a simple dice roller.
You can roll as many dice as you need, and the total value of the dice is conveniently provided.
