Joy should not come from utility but its fundamentality of enjoyment. I still learn different programming languages because it's fun to do so, so sounds like it

Joy should not come from utility but its fundamentality of enjoyment. I still learn different programming languages because it's fun to do so, so sounds like it's a you problem.

- satvikpendem 3mo agoExactly. If they just do things for utility I struggle to see if they did it for joy in the first place. A painter still paints even if there is some perfect machine that can paint. This sounds like the same crisis many artists had when photography was invented.
- chrisbrandow 3mo agoCraft isn’t craft if it doesn’t produce something. So enjoying the utility of it is not a secondary aspect. That’s a key difference between craft and art.

I still learn different programming languages because it's fun to do so, so sounds like it's a you problem. I learn because it's fun but PART of that learning also comes from having an environment to show off my new skills. I think a lot of people downplay this but it's inevitable and AI is ruining that environment.
