Using libnotify for reminders
Depends... Is your goal to write an entire application to do this for you? You can use notify-send which is already linked with libnotify to do that, or look at a pre-existing application like https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly that might be more like what you're wanting to do...

Buy a good monitor if you care about your eyes!

I cancelled my Replit subscription
Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

Advice to a Novice Programmer
From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?
But they never do.
FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.
