I started on GitHub in 2010. Last week I sat down and went through every single repo. I had over 60. I got it down to 26, with a few more still to go.
That's over 30 repos gone. Twelve years of commits, side projects, experiments, half-finished ideas - deleted. My earliest commit now shows as 2022. It used to be 2010.
What was actually in there
There were some serious projects in there too, but these are the ones that stood out.
A roulette predictor - though not entirely for the reasons you might think. OK, a small part of me did want to beat the house. But the real reason: I wanted to see it. Everyone knows a coin flip is 50/50, but how do you actually visualise a 35 to 1? Statistics on a page don't do it. So I built a simulation, set it to eye speed, and watched my balance crawl down into the negative millions in real time. Then I cranked it to super speed, ran tens of thousands of games, and every single one ended the same way - if you played long enough, you lost. Every time. No exceptions. The maths were always there, but watching it happen is something else.
