I think I want to call this "computing" not "coding" or "technology" but boy is that a lot to try to get definitive about when you're trying to sketch out a concept.

Gonna start with references I think? Not sure if I want to link to excerpts

https://debugger.medium.com/the-real-reason-to-learn-to-code-automating-your-life-d8730796d168 <-- a piece about the joy of lil' personal bits of code, scut-work scripts, audience-of-one stuff

https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/ <-- boopsnoop, the video and photo sharing app with 4 users (where can't I refer to this piece)
