Toot

I went to open dev docs to learn a new thing the other day and.... my brain just wouldn't.

If you're a software engineer of any variety, tell me:

What are you excited about? What brings you joy when you're creating? Is it a library, a tool, a language?

@ryan For me, what brings me joy about coding is helping someone. Creating something that will be useful to at least one person somewhere out there.

I usually think of it in two ways: either someone wanted to do a thing, but they couldn't, and I can write some software that will allow them to do it, or else there was a thing they had to do and didn't want to, and I can automate away that chore or that drudgery.

Either way, my joy comes from imagining their smile when they use my software.
