Just wrote my first substack in over 6 weeks so it's a long one 😪

First Topic: I want to write a book about the joy of coding. 

I know why coding brings me joy, but I want to document and understand how others describe their joy. Where it comes from. What it takes to access it. 

@myk the enthusiasm in your voice in your flock in video earlier made me think one of the chapters has your name on it. And I can think of at least a dozen other people from Farcaster who might want a chapter for their stories too.

If you're seeing this and have a personal story about joy & writing code, let's chat.

No pre-ordering allowed! I can’t handle the pressure of expectations.
Though I really appreciate the encouragement! 

I’ve never written a book before but like I said, I had this loud inner voice telling me I needed to write this one. Gonna start to slowly take steps to making this happen. Long time horizon though- measured in years not months.
