🔥 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: APOCKETLYPSE This project cycle happened at an interesting time for me. I found myself less and less interested in hobbyist programming as AI seeped deeper into "professional" coding, and I was simultaneously having a great nostalgia-dive into Digimon and some of the franchise's games. I think there's an interesting overlap there -- the concept of semi-sapient digital creatures skulking around on the internet causing grief.
