we've done little bits and pieces of computer programming from time to time. we've posted about them here.
every time we think we can get back into programming because of one of these little exercises, we've been disappointed. and it's not surprising: most of us are really bad at that sort of thing. so...who's actually been wanting to do programming? we don't actually know.
we have some hints. the computer-programming impulse seems to have attached itself to some particularly old memories of computer programming from our past—from the mid-1990s, roughly—which tells me that perhaps we developed some introject during this time who was really into computer programming and then rapidly burned out when we tried doing it for money in 1999-2001. after that the impulse has been almost completely dead, though occasionally it's exhibited spasmodic life.
falling in love in 2015-16 woke the impulse to more vibrant than usual existence. well, the affaire de coeur didn't go well and all programming plans died after the relationship did. we've done bits of programming since but the pattern's always the same: we achieve some tiny little goal and then run away from it for months. maybe the impulse runs away from Frisk and myself; neither of us likes computers that much.
