Interesting.

Composing a decent poem becomes natural after composing a thousand and throwing all of them to /dev/null. Past that stage, the problem isn't of inspiration, but of distilling the output. Mortals tends to begin attain maturity after 10K.

The cognitive benefit outweighs poegling, since the patterns of neurons firing in your brain aren't restricted to the computer UI calisthenics.
