Got my programming friends doing codewars.com problems, and hacked together a Whatsapp bot that keeps letting the group know everytime someone solves a problem, if someone solves the current problem, and let them know when everyone has solved the current and what is the next one.
It's fun! :)

#75I'm reworking my first rails project into Elixir-Phoenix & Vue.js app as a learning exercise. It's a video manager for learning resources (Vimcasts etc.). So it "knows" about parsing a number of feeds, and can download from youtube etc. (shell out to youtube-dl). Allows you to comment and export them all to a page (so you can keep track of what you've looked at and learned). Quite enjoying reworking it, once it's in…
I really enjoy both Phoenix and Vue.js :)

#78A Twitter bot called @AmazonArtReview that tries to find funny 1-star reviews of media on Amazon. It's using some crude machine learning and just a fun side project. Finding humor's tough! I've read some papers on finding humor in reviews, e.g. https://cs224d.stanford.edu/reports/OliveiraLuke.pdf . That's been helpful. It'd be great if I could use the Yelp review set for finding humor as they did but the humor doesn'…
What about the number of upvotes for 1-star reviews?
Yeah, that's a good suggestion. I should start storing and using that info. My hypothesis is that humor is inversely proportional to the number f helpful votes. For example, 0 of 57 helpful is probably funnier than 3 of 3.

Yes me too. The issue I see ahead is finding work with Phoenix.. I live in a town in New Zealand, and there's no elixir-Phoenix shop that I'm aware of, and I imagine getting remote work without a year or twos production experience won't be easy.
Still, it's fun and I'm looking forward to trying this year's adventofcode.com in elixir :)
