I remember when I first learned about computer programming, around 2008 or 2009. I wanted to make games, and asked a search engine. Apparently computer graphics was way too hard, so I decided I wanted to create browser-based static HTML games and text-based roguelikes. Having learned that PHP and MySQL exist, I sat down and brainstormed a setting, classes and roles for characters, and all the other things that come with fantasy RPGs.

I think writing can help us think better.
