Fresh Questions from Stack Exchange family for those who want to learn something new often.
stackdidact
is primarily supposed to be a shell command to generate a question from StackOverflow (and the StackExchange family, in general).
The interesting part is that each time this a new question is displayed.
One basically has to be an autodidact to learn programming. It takes a lot of practice to learn everything necessary to learn the deeper aspects of programming. No one has ever become a great programmer just by taking classes or reading books. It takes hours of practice and persistence.
To this end, in order to expand my programming knowledge, I started reading popular(highly voted) questions on StackOverflow pertaining to certain "tags" (python
being my favourite) in my spare time. This was a habit which I developed the Summers of 2016. However, I had been lacking this enthusiasm lately; primarily due to my procrastination. Hence, I created stackdidact
to throw at me a random question to motivate me.
If you relate to this problem, I hope stackdidact
will be of use to you.
Also, if you are an "autodidact" programmer or atleast aspire to be one, this command is for you !
stackdidact
is available on PyPi and can be installed through Python's package manager pip
as:
$ pip3 install stackdidact
NOTE: Linux users need to use sudo
for installing the package systemwide.
If you face any issues with the installation, discuss it by creating an issue.
If you have got any suggestions for new features or improvements, feel free to create an issue about it here. I will try to work to them. Better yet, Pull Requests are welcome.
