@FediTips @WeirdWriter Nice. I wonder how I can apply this to my creative outlet of writing code. Crafting code has been such fun. Even with rough edges the sense of accomplishment from solving puzzles to the best of my abilities made me happy. Hmm. I imagine that weavers enjoyed their craft before the industrial revolution, and, just as with a lot of coders, it was also their job.

I can think of several *popular* accounts that need this reminder. Constantly. 😒
