> If the author didn't do this for themselves - to learn, to show off their skills - then why bring it to life? Isn’t wanting a thing to exist reason enough? It’s a bit like seeing someone post an instagram photo of them eating a cake they made, and saying ‘why? Why did you make this cake? Are you trying to learn, or show off your skills?’ Maybe they.. just wanted to eat a cake? I swear the instagram ‘look at me’ culture has broken people’s ability to just do a thing because they can.
