> "Spark" is what I felt struggling against a hyper-strict budget during my publishing days. I found it when examining the depth of Deluxe Paint in the animation controls. It is what I felt when I overcame the Y2K bug in Superbase. I felt it again just now as I realized the lathe solution while waiting for the boolean to finish. Each little struggle forced me to shift my frame of mind, which revealed new opportunities.

Or alternate directions? Even, heaven forbid, throwing ideas away? These common creative pathways are discouraged in a modern computing landscape.
