It's notable how often, too, folk turn to craft analogies when talking about code.
So many people in tech (including me) try to turn to craft/art as a way of 'escaping' the grind. It's often not the coding that gets people down but all the 'organisational' activity (or management or however you want to phrase that) that goes alongside.
Hehe so true.. I also started building wooden longboards in my limited spare time instead of building yet another cool Github project.
Another thing for me is that I actually can finish these projects opposed to many of my private software projects where I just lack the time (and maybe energy) to finish them.
I realized a few weeks ago that I am happier since exchanged coding in my spare time with wood crafting in my spare time.
