why
why get up in the morning, only to have to do it again tomorrow?
why paint a still life, when you can just stare at the real thing for a while?
why not hunt and forage your own food?
why not make your own clothes?
why write boring code, when you can get someone or something else to write it for you?
why contribute features that you think are interesting to a product that you use and enjoy?
why post on social media, rather than doing any of the above?
