Serenity is amazing.&lt;p&gt;But also big props to Andreas for speaking so candidly about the back story of Serenity. I feel like there are certain things we don&amp;#x27;t talk about in tech and that can change.&lt;p&gt;I love the idea that programming, esp side projects,  can be a therapeutic thing.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Serenity OS: Interview</title><url>https://corecursive.com/serenity-os-with-andreas-kling/</url></story>

In that regard it&amp;#x27;s possibly the easiest codebase to prototype new OS features given you can make changes to any part of the OS &amp;amp; view changes immediately.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Serenity OS: Interview</title><url>https://corecursive.com/serenity-os-with-andreas-kling/</url></story>
