With my wife, I built two kids both in college now. That's definitely the most impactful. In the online world, I've contributed bits and pieces to open-source here and there as far back as the late 90s. I think my first contribution was to the shadow package, but I've contributed to Apache, Radius, git, random packages that I use that I discover bugs in, etc. A python script I wrote to allow folks to bypass AT&T's residential gateway was used by more people than I ever expected: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy
In Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've built?
Yup, this is me: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy AT&T has transitioned to issuing a combined ONT/Router, where this will no longer be possible, but apparently the newer gear doesn't have any of the performance issues of the Pace 5268AC. BTW, I was annoyed that AT&T installed the ONT on the southern wall of my home where it was baking in full sun everyday, so I relocated it myself into my network closet. You can just unplug the ONT and extend the existing fiber with an optical coupler and an SC-APC to SC-APC single-mode patch cable.
