It's the minimum effort that translates to minimum time that translates to minimum cost for the business. Why hire another developer for a mobile app (or another platform) when you could just have the same web dev write it. Or without hiring another dev, why have the same dev need to build up tooling in another language when you can just reuse from the existing platform

That is a great way to look at it!
It's always hard to get through the mental block of comparing oneself to others (or your own art to another's), but I really really like how you said the process of discovering the beauty in anything. I need to internalize that and push away the perfectionism that says I could (should) do better. That doesn't matter, anything can be beautiful, and there's no good reason to discredit something just because you're still in the process of learning (or self improving)
Thank you, I'll definitely be stealing this way of explaining what I've been trying to put into words
Even though I agree that external validation shouldn't be relied on, and your own opinion of yourself is the most important, that's still really hard to do when you don't like how you look.
A different comic that connected to me a little more was this one:
Where just because I don't like the way I look, doesn't mean I'm ugly. Someone else may like just as I am, so the important thing for me is to be healthy and happy with myself, even if I don't like how I look
... I'm realizing I'm mostly just rewording what you said, but I wanted to share the comic in case it helps someone else see another perspective :D
I would be very interested in this if you ever post it 👀
Here's the story of how anthropic spent $20,000 writing a C compiler that can't compile hello world on it's own:
Omori is fantastic
It's one of those games that's best to go in blind (while knowing of the content warning)
The actual wording is "Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp."
So no, 99% AI is also not allowed
Highly recommend this game, was a ton of fun to play through. If you're looking for another game like this, check out manifold garden, which also happens to be 75% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/473950/Manifold_Garden/
