There's a third camp: "This is just software engineering, I might as well code something useful and equally fun".

There's a third camp: "This is just software engineering, I might as well code something useful and equally fun".
- recursive 6y agoThe problem with doing something useful is that you might end up with users.
- martindbp 6y agoGood point, but you could make something that's useful for yourself, or to learn something new, or even something like an art piece. Recently when I had some time I implemented a Minesweeper solver. Not useful to anybody, except perhaps rural Cambodian farmers, but it was great fun, and probably more satisfying than playing a game.
- tick_tock_tick 6y ago^^^ That's my camp by and large unless I'm playing multiplayer with friends it just makes me feel like I should be working on my side project.
