Hands-on learning is an awesome thing - especially in the age of AI!

But maybe worth reframing away from “discovering” - hierarchical planning, sub-goals, action chunking etc. are well understood - this is more of a… transcript of your personal learning journey?

Which is still cool to see. But I read through expecting there to be some kind of novel results. We probably need to categorize these kinds of posts a bit better.

Hm, I get your perspective, but completely disagree with your expectation. I'm not sure I would be entitled to expect a discovery that is novel with regard to current scientific knowledge unless I'm reading a paper. The fact that it is couched as "I discovered" and posted to a personal blog should be more than enough to convey that you might not find novel scientific discoveries within.
