We need to encourage programmers to ask more stupid questions. Here are some of my best that have turned into projects.
- If I have files housed in Dropbox, can I send them to a different cloud storage?
- How does a search engine work?
- Currently designing one
- What does the inside of a PDF look like?
- Can I watermark my PDFs?
- Can a computer manage my Gmail inboxes?
- Can a computer recognize my handwriting?
- Can we simplify how much Java we have to write?
- Can I set up reminders to let me know when subscriptions are due?
- If I have a
.mp3
file, could I Shazam the song to get metadata about the song? - Can I have a computer solve the puzzles of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes?
- Those bombs won't defuse themselves
- How about the Centurion Project?
- Can I make a text RPG in the console?
- This was a long time ago, but yeah!
