> When I'd mentor underclassmen in college, they'd always say something like "let's build a mobile app that lets people create accounts for their pets and then uses machine learning to pair them with the best possible dog walker" as their "small and feasible" project.

Maybe they can mooch off some existing library or service. Yelp has an API which you could use to find dog walkers near you.

By the way, what's with the white on black monospace layout? Is that supposed to be cool or something?

Yes. All CSS is written the way it is either for aesthetics or for accessiblity (readability, etc).

Or because the author didn’t know any better.
