Before you can be a writer, you need to sharpen your own pencil.
I like informing yourself about the note taking app you're writing with a little more. It makes it a bit more obvious that it's kind of obvious but can have many advantages.
Personally though I don't really see upside of building a computer as you could also just research things and not build it or vice versa. (Maybe it's good for looking at bug reports?)
A 30 minute explanation on how CPUs work that I recently got to listen in on was likely more impactful on my C/assembly programming than building my own computer was.
you wouldn't want somebody that hates animals to become a veterinarian just because of money-lust. the animals would suffer, the field as a whole, too. maybe they start buying up veterinary offices and squeeze the business for everything they can, resulting in worse outcomes- more animals dying and suffering, workers get shorted on benefits and pay.
people chasing money ruin things. we want an industry full of people that want to actually build things.
I don't really see the connection to my comment.
In this example wouldn't the programmer be more of a pharmacist? (The animal body the computer and its brain the user?)
Your statement is not wrong, it just seems unrelated.
