So apparently every half-serious coder will write at least one chess engine and a text editor. Any other program type which gets implemented over-and-over again?

Static-site generators. Nothing wrong with that, I like to think there are some apps you should probably make yourself, like the blacksmith apprentice making their own tools.

  I wasn't trying to imply there is anything wrong with these practice projects. I have written at least two chess engines maybe. And I am seriouly considering to write an editor, so, there you have it. I kind of got sidetracked by implementing my own rope...

If you hang out here, you've probably tried to write a HN clone or client.
