This really makes for a good natural experiment: carry on :)

I have a hard time imagining how much you'd have to literally bribe me to get me to try doing it the way you describe. I'm too interested in implementation details of things and looking for innovations—in fact I make my living doing that, like some cyberpunk gremlin just delighting in messing with stuff in unexpected ways. I don't understand why you're not, but maybe it's not for me to understand.

Carry on. We'll check back and see how it worked for ya :)

I delight in messing with stuff in unexpected ways, and see that as a great way to learn. I just don't want to have to type all of that mischief out by hand.

I ported a complex new Python program I wrote to Go last night on my phone out of nothing more than wild curiosity. You can bet I learned a bunch about Go in the process, from bed, in about 20 minutes.
