#22Nice guide, especially the terminal raw mode stuff. I haven't seen much on that before, I really appreciate that this guide goes over that.

#26Reference implementations of medium sized applications are incredibly useful for leveling up as a programmer. While there are many large successful open source applications, many are overwhelming to read and learn from.
