- PyATL (Python Atlanta). Group already existed. Didn’t build it from scratch. Adapting to the pandemic and pivoting to keep the community strong was a challenge. We made it through and now better than ever.
- Worked on ESG software. Helping people invest according to their values. Most people are good. Means the software shifts investments from shitty companies to better ones (IMHO).
- Fixed part of the MCAT registration portal performance a short while back. It went from definitely not able to handle scale to being resilient.
- Worked on Fieldscope. An important scientific app used for environmental research like the Chesapeake Bay cleanup project. Flash in 2018 was a nightmare but made it work.
- All the smaller open source contributions that help remove paper cut level issues from projects. That way maintainers can focus on making the bigger impact.
I know this was rather off topic. We don’t usually get to share this. It’s nice to signal to others that they can make a difference at all levels. You can make the world better right now and right where you are. Go!

Back in the good old .com days.
There were others, but this is probably still the top one.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You are correct it uses very little resources, especially since most queries are http instead of https. Since there are no user accounts and it doesn't track anyone it doesn't even have a backend database to connect to. Just a couple dirt simple programs written in C with some very easy to remember domain names. I'm not getting any younger so it's really about survivability. Transferring to another individual HN'er p…
I'm 25 and I'd totally take it on, but you're probably looking for an actual nonprofit if you want true survivability. As someone who has used this tool for at least 10+ years (as long as I've known what an IP address is), I'd love to help make sure it stays around.
If it doesn’t already exist anyway.
I was nominally the lead engineer on the first release of AdWords, though most of the actual code was written by Jeremy Chau. AdWords pretty much changed the world, though not, I think, for the better. :-( If you want to know what I actually made by myself that I'm most proud of it would be this: https://graceofgodmovie.com/ (I am referring to the movie, not the web site.)
Probably used in a few hundred apps at least, and generating a few thousand PDFs for end users daily.

Then thinking, I suppose you could do it by (exactly the method you used), but never actually doing it because if it were that simple, someone would have already done it.
Actually, seeing the date, I realize this predates me even leaving high-school, which makes it even more atrocious that I never knew of it!
