Joy of Computing

Do you ever want to take a break from ‘serious’ projects and just write something quick, simple and funny? That’s what I did today at the Recurse Center’s Creative Coding event where you have two hours to create a program based on a random prompt. At five o’clock we gathered in a squished Zoom room to hear the day’s prompt: Distorting Time. Then, with a flurry, we all got down to business building whatever schemes had popped into our heads. Well, actually, in reality I sat staring at my glass of water for about ten minutes. What program could I write to illustrate ‘Distorting Time’? I decided to randomize the last modified time of all files on my laptop. Just kidding... — kellyfoulk
