Anyway, my new perspective is: When one does something and enjoys it, it's because a benefit has been provided in some way. Because if there weren't, then one wouldn't have been engaged, and wouldn't have enjoyed it; rather one would have been bored. Therefore, enjoyment is the proof of a worthwhile endeavor. (As though pleasure alone isn't enough of a reason) Well, not following completely, but I get the impression that doing it the computer-nerd way offered two benefits: (1)Being sure that you caught everything that needed changing, and (2)getting useful practice in programming (can’t get enough practice, even if you’re good).
