It feels silly to have to type this out, but it's OKAY to have fun sometimes. There's more to life than optimizing every second until you reach the grave.

You will never find a single human on their deathbed fondly reminiscing about all the checkbox animations they watched. There's more to life than whimsical UI animations.
