So, yesterday I tried to build this thing called “Karen and Sebastian”. Don’t really know what these two are, seems like a couple of names, or maybe some kinda software project, whatever. I just followed the instructions I found and wanted to give it a try.
First, I tried to figure out what this “Karen” and “Sebastian” actually means. So I googled it and found some interesting stuff. Seems like they are some kinda internet celebrities or something. One’s a makeup artist, the other is an influencer, and they got married. Cool, I guess. But that didn’t really help me much with the technical stuff. Then I stumbled upon some discussions about “Karen” being a slang term, like some annoying lady who always demands to speak to the manager. And apparently, there’s even a whole subreddit dedicated to mocking these “Karens”. That’s the internet for ya.
I also found some stuff about a Karen in some TV show or movie, something related to a character named Fisk and some traumatic event. Not sure how that’s related, but it was kinda interesting. Anyway, after digging around a bit, I decided to just start building it. Maybe it’s a system that analyzes these “Karen” behaviors, or maybe it’s a tool to track celebrity gossip. I don’t know, but let’s give it a shot.
I started by setting up a basic project structure. I created a couple of folders, one for “Karen” and one for “Sebastian”. I figured they might be separate modules or something. Then I started writing some code, mostly just placeholder stuff ’cause I still wasn’t sure what I was building. I used Python because, why not? It’s easy to get started with.
I spent a good chunk of the day just poking around, trying different things. I even tried to implement some kind of “Karen detection” algorithm, just for kicks. I used some basic natural language processing stuff to analyze text and see if it sounded like a “Karen” complaint. It was pretty rudimentary, but it was fun to mess around with.
Then I tried to make some basic class named Sebastian, and give it some normal functions. You know, just some easy coding stuff.
By the end of the day, I had a kinda working prototype. It wasn’t much, but it was something. It could take some text input, analyze it for “Karen-ness”, and then, I don’t know, display some information about Sebastian, maybe? It was all pretty random, to be honest.
My thoughts
- It was a fun little project, even though I still don’t really know what “Karen and Sebastian” is supposed to be.
- It was a good excuse to practice some coding and play around with different ideas.
- Maybe I’ll revisit this project someday and try to make it into something more meaningful. Or maybe not. We’ll see.
Anyway, that’s my experience building “Karen and Sebastian”. It was a weird, kinda pointless, but ultimately enjoyable experience. Just another day in the life of a curious programmer, I guess.
