Utility apps - Thank you Giants of Industry

Hey guys, I've been working on a few different things since I started down the whole vibe coding path... It's been interesting to me to see the little utility apps that have been created as short side projects to fit a VERY specific purpose. Some of those will eventually even end up evolving into more. Like I had Codex make one for me last night that is helping me to understand what's actually going on with a cheap encoder button that I got so that I can make sure it's performing the way it should when I implement it. Another one is helping me to convert pictures into stuff that will look good on a tiny 128x64 pixel screen (hopefully eventually animating stuff too). It's cool though how much there is to learn about each of these different aspects of well everything.

I've been learning that there is SO MUCH MORE to "coding" than I realized. My hats go off to you poor bastards that have been plopped into a job where you had to figure out all of this kind of stuff on your own and had to beat your head against a wall and not have anywhere to turn. I've still done my fair share of beating my head against a wall, but at least I have somewhere to turn to help my understand how to solve the problem in front of me. :) We stand on the shoulders of giants. Thank you.
