Who cares. This will not get you hired. Why do these submissions get any points at all. The same people who upvote this are the ones seething AI cannot create anything new. I don't see it. Not to shit on the work that went into this.

Fun? I am unsure why it keeps getting shared though, I too have reinvented the wheel a few times for fun.
