While I try to make gadgets that might be useful, my work colleagues geek out over a miniature arcade machine with a coin slot that they found online.
Reminds me of when I was still taking music seriously as a potential career path. No one really cared much for my serious work, but when I did low-effort joke music, people paid attention.
Yes, I could switch to making useless yet entertaining gadgets and I'm sure they'd go viral overnight, but I wouldn't feel proud of my work.
