It's still okay to enjoy programming, essay argues

Original: It's still ok to enjoy programming

A new essay by developer Chris Kiehl argues that despite widespread online pessimism about the software industry, layoffs, and shifting tools, programming remains a rewarding craft worth enjoying. The piece encourages developers to separate their personal satisfaction in building things from the negative discourse dominating tech communities.

Why now: Developers are pushing back against the prevailing negativity in tech discussions and responding to a candid defense of the craft.
