Oh, sure, I can make things with it. But I have an extraordinarily hard time saying that I made something. It feels like it cheapens the whole thing. Maybe I'm just old, because I remember people saying the same thing about code completion in Visual Studio back in the late 90s. This is so much more than code completion, though. |

Did I ask for better things with some important concepts pre-rolled? Yeah, of course. But that’s so, so much less interesting than having actually made a thing.
I try to remind myself that the output of my projects have nothing to do with who I am, but the honest truth is they always mattered to me.
Now that’s dead, and it’s never coming back. It ain’t exactly existential dread, but it is something I’ve lost.
