Building a kit clock has given me a real taste for creating life and totally gone to my head. Sometimes I wind it up and say “let there be ticktocking.”pic.twitter.com/fSX0fKlT8o

Humans I’m convinced are fundamentally sprinters, not long-distance runners. So sprinting (= winding up a clock in 30s) to power a marathon (keep it ticking for 24h) is deeply satisfying. The opposite, like setting up dominoes for hours to knock down in seconds, feels profane.

In my experience, the difference is working alone. After 40+ years making software, I’ve retired to make stuff of my own design that only I want from wood and metal in my own workshop all by myself. Incredibly satisfying, quite unlike coding to please others.
