lol, glad it was inspiring. honestly it's wizardry when you really think about it. there's two roads that diverge in this wood, though. you can look at the nonphysicality of it and call it nothingness and become somewhat of a materialist nihilist. Or you can decide to do what I did and come to the conclusion that the physical that we think is real is in fact the unreal or at least the "less real" (since I want to dodge the issue of dualism for now), and that thought is the only thing that actually exists or matters- which would make programming (and arguably things like music production, digital art, etc.) the "most real" of the jobs. I mean... all human valuation is fundamentally irrational (and yet quite real... why, for example, from a purely rational basis and without asking a human, is Taylor Swift making such a gigantic amount of money? Why can the game "The Finals" be free, but charge money for skins, and people will actually pay money for them?)
