* marks stable projects that are not completely finished but are not actively being worked on, if you want something to do, take a look at them, with a few exceptions, they shouldn't be too difficult, but at the same they shouldn't be too trivial.

Tips

Hardening yaourt(8)

Philosophy

C mastery

Critique of C++

Until you've seen a real assembly project, you haven't seen clean code.
Until you've seen a real C++ project, you haven't seen nightmare code.
That is the cost of abstraction.

Bad UX ideas

Harmful reading (or at least a waste of time)
