Isn’t that where most interest starts? A computer really is a tool. I know for me, it was an unfortunate discovery at the very start of my interest in computing that to do the things I wanted I had to deal with all these tedious bits of programming.
Even today I’d like to skip most of the underlying tedious bits although I understand knowledge and willingness to deal with much of those underlying tedious bits are what keep money flowing into my account regularly. That’s about the only saving grace of it. There are so many ideas I’d love to explore but the unfortunate fact is there’s a lot of work to develop or even glue together what one needs to test out, not to mention associated infrastructure costs these days. Even useful prototypes take quite an endeavor.
