It's the man in the arena who counts, per Teddy Roosevelt. I really enjoyed your work on PiHex and haven't used any of your later more notable works. Loved it!

It's the man in the arena who counts, per Teddy Roosevelt. I really enjoyed your work on PiHex and haven't used any of your later more notable works. Loved it! But should you have done that the rest of your life? Who should you serve? Was it great progress and good for you to move from PiHex to tarsnap or a step backwards? By what standard? Do we really have as much agency as the questioner implies? Do we choose problems or do they choose us? Is there only one true joy in the world? Is there only one good work to be done? I find the original question contains false premises that I personally found very ridiculous. You responded very maturely though, and it is a credit to you. Thanks Colin. You be you.
