I’m just looking to make pizza not smelt the ore for the oven I’m going to cook it in.

Why make pizza when you can order it? As far as I can tell, there's not much enjoyment of making being had.

Enjoying having is fine too, but let's at least be honest about it.

I enjoy looking at photos people took on hikes, but I don't call it hiking.

  • Is it hiking if I bought my boots on amazon?

    • Not if you sit at home wearing boots and looking at photos of mountains.

      If you want to have boots, that's cool. But is replacing walking with ordering boots and photos making hiking fun again? Or were you only interested in the photos anyway?

      What part of the process of hiking do you enjoy? And why is it so hard to hear what part of the process of programming people enjoy?

  • This is just obtuse. Some folks have fun building their own pizza oven, curing & slicing their own meat, and mixing their own dough. Some folks like to buy mostly pre-made stuff and just play with a few special ingredients. Some folks want to make 5 different pizzas with different flavors. Some folks just order a pizza.

    Some folks walk out of their house and start hiking. Some folks drive somewhere and then start walking. Some folks take photos from the car. Some folks take a roadtrip.

    All of these things ask for different effort & commitment with different experiences & results as the payoff. At least be honest about that.
