Hi HN - this is a small experiment: what if code had a museum? I built a Museum of Handwritten Code for foundational constructs and algorithms. I’ve been feeling a strange melancholy watching more and more software generation become automated, and wanted to preserve the "atoms" of programming in a form people can browse, discuss, and (hopefully) learn from. Yes, it’s a vanity project — but I’m trying to make each exhibit real: code, description, and historical context (with more being added over time). If AI increasingly writes the software stack (and maybe one day much closer to machine code), then here’s to the for-loops, if-branches, and hash maps that helped build the world we live in. Cheers! I’d love brutal feedback on whether this feels:
* interesting
* useful
* too gimmicky
* or actually a decent teaching / history format |
