Creative Coding

Coding used to feel like a hobby. The kind of fun that had nothing to do with learning a new framework. The kind where you make something completely pointless and show it to your friends.

Creative coding is that. You make stuff for no reason beyond wanting to see it exist. Particles that move weird. Shapes that react to music. A shader that does something cool with light. None of it needs to do anything.

That is the whole point. Messing around with a canvas at midnight because you got curious what happens when sine waves get added to everything.

It feels like being a kid again. I missed that more than I expected.

Make something useless. It's cool.
