   Folks who tried various programming frameworks in the last year or two: Which ones gave you a real 'I can make stuff' high? Where's the fun at?

     @feonixrift i've been trying to think, since you posted this, about what gave me pleasure / satisfaction in writing code the last few years. i couldn't come up with *anything at all* until i remembered half a dozen minor utility scripts with just me or a handful of coworkers as an audience.

     i don't know whether this is more telling about me or the ecosystem. probably mostly me. there're a million things happening that must be fun for somebody, but i still feel like all the joy has leached out.

     @brennen @feonixrift What has brought me joy in the last two years has been to improve my knowledge and skills in Python tooling, in particular static typing and mypy, learning how to better organize code and going from a legacy codebase toward something DDD-like, and learning what makes a team tick and how to work better together and with other teams.

     @feonixrift not to be depressing - just, i guess, thanks for a moment of self-awareness. if it ain't the least bit of fun any more, that's a lot less to mourn when i finally do figure out how to escape it.
