Author here, this issue was the inspiration, though I could not find a working solution in it. As referred in the thread, GitHub has stopped supporting that AJAX hack.

I am planning to make it more accessible, please follow the follow-github-organisation[1] for updates. Pun intended.

Let me know if you have any other feedback.

[1] https://github.com/follow-github-organisation

- You create an issue with the link of the organisation

- Using GitHub webhook, an event is triggered to see if the org is already being followed

- If not, a record is created (organisation name, public repo count, issue id etc)

- Every 6 hour, (for all organisations) a cron job checks if the org has any extra public repositories

- In case of any new repository, a comment is created with the links to the new repositories

Do you plan to publish the source code of your cron script and related stuff? I was expecting to see it under the same GitHub organization but found nothing.

GitHub doesn't allow a user to follow an organization. As a result, users don't get to see the activity done by that particular organization.

I have tried creating a small solution (refer to the link) for the same, and it uses GitHub as a distribution channel.

- You need to create an issue (in the linked repository) with the link to that organization.

- If a new repository is created, the thread will be updated (every 12 hours) with the link to the new repository.

- Check the list of issues if the organization is already subscribed or not.

I write about explorable explanations from a software engineering perspective, going after a particular problem and explaining it using either data or a solution.

For example, my recent article was about solving Google AI's game Semantris using Computer Vision. https://hackpravj.com/blog/solving-semantris-opencv-word2vec...

This year I've decided to write about my learnings in products. I've my first topic in making, will try to publish it as soon as I get time.

Feel the same way about my contribution to the Go language. :)

Related to that, currently reading the book "DRAGONFLY: NASA AND THE CRISIS ABOVE MIR", there was a fire event at the station and Russian space personals circulated in the media that it was just a 10-second fire.

Wasn't aware of the mentioned "webview" wrapper[1], considering to use it for a side project.

Reminds me of the time I created an improved version of the "8-puzzle"[1] game in Go to learn about "channels" and "goroutines". Especially, the use of "select" statement for listening on multiple channels for the main event loop.

Didn't know that the compiler itself isn't using the same packages after going in a bootstrapped fashion.

Using the existing packages is a great approach as I think that Go standard library has one of the best packages supported for AST/lexing/parsing family, in comparison to Python and Ruby. Haven't worked with Rust.

Pro: You get to build things from scratch, I like this one most.

Con: You find yourself at the end of the work-life balance, which might not be comfortable for everyone.

It's a great initiative, today itself I was thinking if there can a common test to get a job, but then I realized companies do not just test the engineering or field knowledge.

PS: I thought refreshing the page will show an early day picture of dropbox/reddit/stripe/instacart and so on.

> Pro: You get to build things from scratch, I like this one most.

That hits the nail in the head! Having exprience in building things from scratch has to be invaluable down the road in your career.
