Yeah, the sensor thing hits close to home. My will is strong, but I'd probably just break the wrench trying to turn it on.

Always thought it was weird, but these stories make me wanna try it.

A friend of mine once taught her little sister what a variable was by calling it a coffee order. She said it's like telling the barista you want a large latte, and that name holds your whole drink order. The kid totally got it and started naming her toys after variable ideas. Seeing that click happen is the best part of sharing this stuff. Those simple, real world comparisons just cut through the confusion. Her sister still asks if she can "declare a new toy" sometimes.

Right, feels like everything's getting more temporary, like we're all just passing through now.
