I love the Radagast energy in Code is a Joy:

"Joyful artistic technology is humane, useful, interesting, accomplished and occasionally it may be profitable and world-changing.

It is not something that will ever be produced by AI, nor can it be produced by the apparent inhumane factory conditions that big tech firms desire to turn their programming operations into."

"Never forget that the "techno-optimists" have no room, no time, and no interest in that joy.

All they have is cold equations for someone else to execute for them--over and over, ever faster, at ever greater scale--for pay, for a living, for food, for healthcare, for an opportunity to create art outside of them.

The cold equations they are unwilling to execute themselves but all too willing to grind us through.

The programmer is nothing but a process, ground through a function, into so much pulp for the fires of VCs and billionaires' hopeless and heartless worlds."
