I can't agree more! I make the same argument, but much less eloquently than you did "I just randomly got interested in this particular topic and decided to play aorund with it". Using the same motivation: "let's play with things and see what I can figure out", I created a video [1] where I figure out what I need to do to create a silly version of the cat command that prints text out upside-down. I did it for a bunch of reasons: figuring out how to replace system commands, learning a bit more about Unicode, trying out our C extension for VS Code, learning the process for building YouTube video (which was a very deep rabbit hole) ... all to produce a single video. It was fun, scratched an itch that I've had for a while that I'll continue to work on. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ2ivP2llFs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ2ivP2llFs
