Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The author discusses using AI coding assistance tools (specifically Claude Code with Opus 4.6) to revive unfinished personal projects, drawing a parallel to the Japanese concept of Tsundoku (unread books). They share their experience implementing a connector between YouTube Music and OpenSubsonic, noting that AI tools helped them complete in a short time a project that would have otherwise remained unfinished. The article serves as a reflection on how AI coding assistants can help developers overcome the barrier of unfinished side projects.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledLong ago I attempted a personal project, but never finished due to life being busy.

We all have these projects and they are good candidates for testing out AI coding assistance.
The end result was a fairly short amount of time to get a working project.
