“i should make a programming tool for making art,” thinks a programmer, “and it will get artists more interested in programming.”

what this actually does, in my observation, is get programmers more interested in art. but that’s a good outcome!

@chrisamaphone yeah, I have vanishingly little interest in using e-textiles education “to get girls interested in computing!” (ugh; also, problematic) but I do find it more delightful when I can use them to get a computing person interested in physical creativity. 🤷
