Ideas for side programming projects:

• A habit tracker to track how often you work out / meditate / get wasted
• A simple story generator (see @MagicRealismBot)
• A text adventure
• A text adventure that's played with a Telegram or Kik bot, where you tell the bot what to do and the bot tells you what it sees
• An app that saves all the little insights into life you ever had ("99% of the time people are behaving weird around you it has nothing to do with you. You're not that important!") and sends you an old one per mail every day
• A Twitter bot that replies "Don't you mean DRUMPF?" whenever somebody mentions Donald Trump
• A tamagotchi in your command line
• A twitter bot that will say "nomnomnom" when users "feed" it food emojis (🌭, 🍏, ...)

"""Reduces dependency constraints to a minimal set. 

Example: if a package is required in version '>2.2 >3.0 <=4.1', then >2.2 is
redundant in here -- it's entailed in >3.0 Likewise, in '>=4.2 !=4.2' should
just be '>4.2' etc.

This script reads in version constrains such as '>2.2 >3.0 <=4.1' and prints
a reduced list of constraints or unsatisfa if the constraints can't be

Scientific Computing with Python

Why Python?

• Programming is fun again!
• Free (as in beer and as in speech)
• Steep learning curve
• Highly readable, easy to code
• Batteries included
• Package management
