blinkenlights is amazing! The entire time I was learning programming I thought to myself "hmm I wish I could see what the memory and registers actually look like at any given step" and bam, blinkenlights. Its an amazing piece of work.

How does one get a job like this? Just writing absolutely wild and weird projects?
I do weird/fun stuff on my own time but I get paid to do mostly boring stuff.

Based on the project github page, it seems that this is their version of weird/fun stuff, that is not done as a part of their job.

Work for any huge corporation that has to pay huge salaries for people to work on soul-less projects for a couple of years, then retire and hack away. In the case of Justine, it seems the corporation was Google.

Just have enough money that you don't have to sell your soul to the devil for a job in webshit consultancy, where they're STILL busy reinventing the CRUD wheel for some reason. Probably because hell means an eternity of torture, and consultancy is hell.
So either be born rich, or slave away until you no longer have to worry about not eating. Then you can work on all your pet projects and feel fulfilled about your job and life. If you're not dead yet from all the accumulated stress, that is.

Run anywhere?
Nice try, I'm on nVidia Jetson and everything depends on a fixed version of libc, so if I want to use nVidia's gpu libraries, I better use their version of libc.

Cosmopolitan Libc software works fine on Jetson and is able to use GPU. See llamafile as an example.

I wonder if cosmo libc supports targeting versions.
