So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.

I absolutely want to Rick my life on a first time jr devs code... Err.. boat design. 👌

But do you want to Morty your life?

But I appreciate your comparison, it really is analagous to an overconfident jr dev code scenario. Anyone who actually knows understands he's lucky it's still intact and cringes at his 'rated for cross-atlantic' statement. But it's been fine so far, so he feels super vindicated into extrapolating to how awesome it's going to be if he managed to get the basics this in order.

I went in prepared to be unambiguously appreciative of the adventuresome spirit, but turned to dismay as he spoke on what he thought the boat was capable of and close to being. Good job on the adventure, but need to have a bit more humility or he'll be in over his head, literally.

The sound of the water moving and echoing throughout the hull would drive me crazy.

Very cool project though

If only we could build an undersea country in this way, but without the psychopaths. And let the land people make hell for themselves if they want, just freedom for the sane ones.

And then a group of armed butt pirates arrived in a gasoline powered speedboat.
