I suspect we'll find out that "programming is good for your brain" as well... NB I'm 61 and recently started developing something almost entirely for the mental workout if provides Edit: I also wanted to use HTMX so I could become CEO one day | ||

That's great! I think anything that's not passively consuming a screen will be known as "good for your brain", the same way that regular food has become known as "health food". Eschewing eating ultraprocessed, factory-made food is now seen as a deliberate health choice, even though it used to be the default. I think the same is happening with the brain. Reading a book is now seen as some erudite choice. Having a hobby like knitting, birdwatching, etc. will be some kind of "good for your brain" activity. Things that used to be the only option are now "healthy choices". | ||
