Sometimes a Fey mood takes me and a fun idea grabs hold of me so hard that I program day and night for days until I run out of steam and wonder what made the idea so great.
Usually though, my programming consists of patching things broken by a library update. Whoops there goes my desktop. Whoops there goes my dashboard. An hour here, an hour there.
I've gotten into microcontrollers and zigbee devices these days, and this is turning into a gentle interest I can tinker with
This is how I do it too. Might last over a week, then I go back to simply being an end user for months.
Have to remember that expression
Playing Dwarf Fortress will help with that!
