Hi Andrew, I appreciate you writing up why you deleted everything - at the same time, I'm sad because a colleague recently told me about your finfreq Anki deck and it was the best of all the ones I've come across, and I thought it was so cool that you included a direct link on each card to fix any errors ... except then the link was dead... and I found this post by way of trying to see if there's any spare copy of the repository somewhere... :'( if you ever restart it, please let me know!
I'm amazed someone else on HN knew about my `finfreq` deck. I don't have the original 1000-word deck anymore - I realized it was coming from a very poor frequency list source.
But I do have a much better sourced `finfreq10k` deck I'm planning on uploading once I have gone through and hand edited at least the top 1000 most common cards. I'll let you know.
This phrase usually signifies something of great personal importance. I can’t tell for sure, but it seems the author is using the phrase differently. I think he means the collection of software projects.
I don’t think anyone would lightly destroy “their life’s work”. The author strikes me as a serious person.
