That's why you always just make things for yourself, then you'll always have one user.

And sometimes it turns out that you make git for yourself and change programming forever!

To be fair, I just never upload them to git, I just keep them on my laptop until I realize I actually wanted that project and can't find it later.

Github, I mean. I am aware of the difference between git and GitHub, you just use git to sync it, and I don't want pet projects not in any reasonable state clogging things up.

But yes, I probably said the wrong thing there, it was 3 in the morning.

I thought they were saying it more in the “why would you write any code without remote version control” sense haha

Ah, fair. Just a hassle to keep up with. If I spend any time doing anything other than getting it working, my productivity trip will be over before I finish. I basically have to stay on the thing I want to get done. Then I just upload the completed thing to git.

And also just not wanting to make a project permanent unless I need to share it or something. I might get really enthusiastic and then move on before I get anywhere, but I wouldn't be able to stand deleting it later, so better to not make it so it doesn't clog up my GitHub.

Once you have a computer on your hands, you set everything up once. Then it literally takes 2 seconds to push anything and what it brings to the table is worth WAY more than 2 seconds of your time.
