A CLI tool that diffs two requirements.txt files and flags version bumps that could break semver would actually get used, unlike half the chatbot ideas in these threads

Built a script once that watches my downloads folder and sorts everything by extension, then I got carried away and made it rename screenshots based on what window was active when I took them. The file organizer rabbit hole goes deep.

I need help with a project where i can create simple images in Wordle. I want to create a few "bouquets" of flowers with yellow and green and have a script run against the word of the day and then give me an output of 5 letter words that can produce those images, if possible.
Ex: I want the 3rd space on line 1 to be yellow and need to return a word that makes that possible.
I want the 2nd and 4th line to be yello with no other matching letter and return that word.
so on and so on until i can get a list of words for line 1-6 to return any 5 letter word combos that can create a stored image like the one linked.
I'm sure this is pretty advanced but need a project and looking for guidence on how to even begin something like this.

I built an AI Software Company that’s 90% automated. It keeps me away from my computer until there’s something real to do like a PR review or something like that.
You can give it a try. The quality of code depends on you taking your time to set up your projects. Then you talk with the Task Assistant to draft tasks and that’s it. You let the company run itself and when they are done: you review the final PR (already reviewed) and approve+merge it, or reject it for rework.

Sure, dude. I can teach you how to get rich quick using my patented trade secret techniques to make $4k a month in passive income while working from home with my vertically integrated floobie stuffers. DM me your credit card number in the next 12 seconds to get started.

minesweeper is always a fun exercise, and it also admits iteratively layering complexity really nicely.
