the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?
no, but it was the most fun to write.
cause like, yeah, it's good to know how to write optimal code and how to make it elegant and easy to maintain, sure!
but one thing you have to maintain is your brain. If you're constantly driving your programming brain at maximum speed, maximum awareness of all possible caveats and vulnerabilities, always considering "how will I maintain this code in ten years time?" you're going to burn yourself out.
@foone I feel as if a good way to defuse this is -- given that no program is ever complete, you always return to the code -- to limit yourself to just "How can I code this today so that the next time I see this code it won't make me sad?"
