Honestly I find it quite enjoyable on it’s own. The more I do it, the more I just enjoy the running itself. But I tend to have some music playing and dream away a bit

I started out with games and simulators. I tended just to come up with some game logic and then see what happened when I let it play out with many entities. When I started my computer science degree at uni I tended to write more code that had something to do with recent lecture material. Implementing Distance Vector Routing, messing around with compression, applying reinforcement learning to my own games.

Now that I have a job it’s a bit harder to stay motivated for all this, but it’s still kinda the same. I just write whatever my brain comes up with.

Standing a whole day usually doesn’t make my body happy, but I regularly stand for like half a day. Sometimes I even switch multiple times. When I work from home I have a standing desk, hit unfortunately at work there are only a few. So sometimes I’m forced to sit all day which I hate.

Standing at home is also way nicer because I can move around without having to check whether someone walks behind me or something. It’s nice to have some music playing and having the freedom to move with the rhythm. Or to just walk around a bit while thinking.
