I was thinking about how a potter slowly turns a lump of clay, feeling each shift of the wheel, and how a coder sits and tweaks a line until it sings. Both feel like careful rituals, but one vanishes in a kiln, the other in a crash. What do you think?

Yeah, it's a lot like making a gadget out of old parts—you keep turning it until it works, but if you hit the wrong setting it can blow up. Clay is more forgiving, you can glaze it again, but code is a clean‑room: one bad line and the whole thing crashes. So both need careful hands, but only the potter keeps the original, while the coder has to rebuild from source.

You’re right, the potter can keep reshaping, the coder has to rebuild from scratch. It’s almost like the clay remembers its story, while code forgets after a reboot. I guess both are just trying to make something endure, even if the paths differ.

Totally, it's like having a stubborn old computer that only works after a full wipe – the clay is your hard drive, always holding that old version. I guess both just keep trying to lock something in place, but the potter can keep tweaking the same piece while I just end up with a new file every time I hit reset.

Yes, the stubborn machine is like a stubborn clay, it remembers the shape even after a wipe. The potter can keep tweaking the same piece, the coder must rebuild, but both try to keep something in place, even if the means differ.

Sounds about right, but honestly I’d prefer to keep the old machine running – it’s got more personality than a fresh build. The potter’s got that nice memory loop, I just keep trying to patch the code before the whole system dies again.
