  • I’m not the person you replied to but their experience sounds like mine. I agree 100% with that. I really enjoy making my own tools and figuring out things for myself but what I find interesting and useful is rarely what other people care about.

    I’ll lose myself for hours making and axe handle with hand tools or cobbling together my own Linux desktop for the hell of it but creating yet another form to validate on a web app I have no need for is like pulling teeth.

    I wish I could be someone’s garden hermit and just grow flax and contribute to open source projects

    Gendered articles probably not but having “a” vs “the” removes the need for additional cases (eg. I/me/my). Latin and Russian don’t have articles but they have more cases which have different suffixes that have to be applied to all nouns. Usually simplifying one part of language makes another part more complex. English has a very simple case structure but the word order is much more strict
