Open Source Will Happen… But Not Today
I definitely got ahead of myself with that whole 'the project will generate lots of open-source code on GitHub' idea.
I wrote a parser for telegram-bot-api metrics and a converter that turns them into Prometheus-like metrics using `prometheus_client`. It felt like the rest was trivial: `git init`, `git remote add origin …`, `git add .`, `git commit -m 'Init'`. But then I remembered:
- I hardcoded the port
- I hardcoded the telegram-bot-api server URL
- I need to move this into env variables
- I need to write simple usage docs, describe dependencies, etc.
At that point I just add yet another TODO and go back to building the product. So open source will happen someday, but not today :)
