Code as art or political movement always baffled me.

I guess anything can be a statement about the world, and we all want our lives to have meaning, so something you poured most of your waking hours into must mean something.

But as someone that sits by a computer for the better part of 30 years I just cant find beauty in it, just sadness for the human condition. Old hardware and software do not make me nostalgic, or makes me feel like we lost anything of value. It gives me the same feeling those abandoned listening posts in Chernobyl gave me, decay, the fleeting nature of existence.

You can't fight the fact that the world will keep on keeping on, with or without you. Be a person that matters to those around you, it's the best you are going to get.
