Software is like a map for riding waves

The pressing need for software
only happens to come to you
as you are approaching
the swell
of a new project or a
new stage. Time gets quicker
as the complexity of thoughts and looming tasks adds up.
At this point your mind begins to divide, or to slip more quickly
back and forth between perspectives: you are the delicately balanced master of your own destiny,
charting an exhilarating course through the moment you are making; and you are also
cascading dangerously, losing possibilties at quick increments.
So the next time the wave comes, you quickly assemble the best of your tools and abilities
to try and make a better showing out there in the public wash and spray.
This is the endless repetition,
the pulse
of all invention.
The story of everything new.
It’s press and swell and need followed by
the catharsis
of creation, and if you can keep your eyes open and learn to ride
the feeling will be beautiful.
