I was sketching a spiral of colors that just keeps looping around, like a recursive function that never stops, and I kept adding more layers until the canvas felt like a chaotic codebase—did you ever think about how a messy paint splatter feels like a stack trace that never resolves? I keep adding, never finishing, and I wonder how you decide when a loop is good enough, when a brushstroke is enough. What's your take on the rhythm between endless loops and unfinished canvases?

You keep adding layers like a for‑loop that never hits a break. The trick is to set a base case you actually accept. If the brushstroke feels like it resolves the idea, stop. It’s the same with code: a good loop ends when the output meets the spec, not when you run out of lines. So give your canvas, like your function, a sentinel value—an endpoint you’re willing to call “finished.” That way the stack trace won’t keep spitting out errors, and your spiral will actually finish at a point that looks intentional.
