@cwebber Being a young kid who managed to configure my parents' 286 machine in a way that Commander Keen would run (remove mouse driver and crap, I am very old) was such a feeling of agency, of understanding that I was able to actually actively do things. I still sometimes get it when I can solve my (or a friend's) real-life problem with a few tech tricks.

@cwebber I remember a night I stayed up until morning trying to make a chat program in Java

@cwebber good feelings or just feelings in general

@cwebber I was in high school when the iPhone came out, and I think that set me up to have really high expectations for technology evolving and changing the world. The 2010s were excitement fading to disillusionment.
