Yesterday I spent the entire day working on a lib to create repos in Github from inside Emacs. It was the first time in 3y that I had touched it. When googling, I saw potential candidates that were much better than my simple one. But I kept going, for the pleasure of making my own thing. I learned a lot, and felt very accomplished, even if, at the end, it was messy, and I'll have to go back and reorganize it. It feels like making _my_ thing, even if it is drawing my copy of Monalisa.
