       @s3thi We pursue mysteries, not certainties.

       i had an odd realization this weekend.when it comes to building software, i love the *process* of building it, but care very little about the product. as long as another human being finds it useful, and it doesn't harm anybody, i don't really care *what* i'm building. i just enjoy the act of writing code.but when it comes to my other creative endeavors -- mostly writing these days -- i care *very much* about the product. if i don't believe completely in the end result i’m hoping for, i find it hard to go on. and i have specific results in mind that i want to achieve with my writing (which i don't have the skills to achieve yet).i should maybe learn to enjoy the process of writing?#writing #programming #creativity

       @amerika @s3thi Your writing process is very right. Keep it up. Your coding process is abhorrent. The world will be a better place if you never do it again.

       @lccmv @s3thi I mean, I might not blurt it out quite that bluntly, but there are some things worth considering here:"care very little about the product"In my view, this ends badly.But with writing, you seem to have a delight/obsession/fear/aspiration and that is inspiring.Maybe @thor will have some other tidbits to throw in here, since he has walked this same line.
