Self reminder, for me:

You make #art for yourself, and no one else.

It doesn’t have to be comprehensible or coherent from an outside perspective. Just has to be fun or enjoyable or an expression of your creativity. Even if you don’t share it, it’s fine, as long as you make something meaningful. (Or meaningless, I’m just a sign not a cop.)

🌶️ spicy take, software correctness 

The common ways that software developers try to solve software correctness reminds me of broader societal issues...

Automated tests: don't try to solve the systemic problem, just institute enough procedures for specific cases and hope you've covered enough of it

Static type checking: don't try to solve the systemic problem, just treat everything and everybody as untrustworthy, you cannot trust anything that isn't verified by a computer

(Please do not reply with 'counterarguments' until you *really* understand where the analogies are coming from here)

- i'm willing to spend for my health (espc if it's reusable)
