Approach programming with the same seriousness that you’d expect a programmer to approach your field with. You say yourself you just want it to “do the thing, conventions be damned”.
Well how would you feel if someone entered your lab or whatever and treated the tools of your trade that way?
The only movie I’ve seen in theaters in the past couple of years has been Dune 2. The only movie I plan to see in theaters in the future is Dune 3 if/when it gets made.
Otherwise I’m not sure there’s any movies on anyone’s docket that won’t be far more fun watching from my couch.
