Coding is now a lot like playing chess.

It's been decades since beating the best computer at chess was possible. But people still play, because they find it fun to get better at.

The major difference being that winning a chess game doesn't yield a permanent artifact that is useful, generally.

It's fine this person wants to journal about the things they do privately for fun. They clearly aren't writing for others to read their work.
