The theatre troupe also talk about needing to create to live. Which is how I feel right now.

There's a quote in the episode I just watched which destroyed me a bit
"When I'm reading Starion Eleven, it doesn't matter the world is ending"
The series follows a theatre troupe which travel around the villages and collectives which have popped up, performing Shakespeare. Their art gives other people joy and meaning, but they also build their own community around the creation of art, and it sustains them.
Watching Station Eleven, a series about the aftermath of a flu which wipes out most of the world's population, and it reflects so many thoughts and feelings I've been having about art in times of crisis

Working on compilers is one of the things that changed my visualisation of programs from just text that you write and manipulate, to various levels of symbols which carry meaning and have almost a physicality to them
