That is indeed another perspective, yet not that different after all, if we'd look at what programming _is_. At its core, it is problem solving and mashing keys on the keyboard.
I don't think that keyboard part is really meaningful to anyone who claims to love programming, so it must be problem solving coupled with complex interactions between abstract idea how to solve it with concrete pecularities of programming languages, platforms, libraries, etc. The second part doesn't go anywhere whether you solve problems for Business Folks or scratch your own itch.
That means that difference between the perspectives is only who's supplying the problems. That reminds me of another distinction, namely, the one between painters and commercial illustrators (not sure if that is proper nomenclature). The path of Painter is hard and lonely, most of the painters we know today did some kind of commercial work or lived off 'grants' from philantropists. Or you can earn your paycheck doing something else and program as a hobbyist, for its own sake. I think that this is also valid programming 'culture' that exists somewhat under the radars of 'tech industry'.
Do you program in SQL? (I've just pressed Shift and released it after I typed SQL, hey)
Using Caps Lock for its intended purpose means that it's another mode that you need mental resources to keep track of.
Historical aside that's not related to your comment: early Soviet computers modeled after IBM PC had Latin key, that basically worked like Shift, but it changed layout from Cyrillic to Latin and vice versa. This idea died after MS Windows, that didn't (and still doesn't? I don't know) have this option, took over the market.
Reason to build: I've seen few blogs that link to HN as primary forum and think it's great, but AFAIU that forces you to update post after publishing to add HN link. With this you can just link to discuss-on-hn.xyz/go and it will update itself.
Inside it uses HN Algolia API [0] to search and redirect to first item and in-memory hashmap; I'll add rate limiting tomorrow, right now I need some sleep. Also this is my first Common Lisp project ever, that turns out to be quite fun.
