@timhwang @omar This is very astute. The computer feeling is what my generation fell in love with--the power and potential for exploration and discovery with this amazing "bicycle for the mind". As these extraordinary tools have been redirected towards profit and productivity and convenience and mass adoption, that computer feeling has been diluted to homeopathic levels. Spaces like @recursecenter work hard to capture the spirit but they are increasingly hard to find and access.
