The beauty of this work lies not in practicality but in the pure joy of creation. Sure, they could have used a modern tool, but like baking your own bread when you could easily buy it, there’s a deep satisfaction in building something yourself, especially using vintage tools. There’s no pressing need—just the simple pleasure of programming for its own sake.
I say well done.
So why bother. Because it’s fun.
