Because sometimes programming is an art and we want people to do it as if it was something they cared about. I play chess and this is a bit like that. Why do I play against humans? Because I want to face another person like me and see what strategies they can come up with.

Of course any chess bot is going to play better, but that's not the point

I don't think node virtual filesystems is anything like chess.

Solving problems is not like chess? I want to use my brain, not sure why that's so complicated to understand

TIL that when I do anything that makes society label me as a "developer", I am not allowed to enjoy it, or feel about it in any way, as it's now a job, entirely neutral in nature, and I gotta do it, whether I hate or enjoy it - no attached emotions allowed.

Ignore the mercenaries. Here they are legion.

As for us (aspiring) craftsman, there are dozens of us! Dozens!
