Very much this. It’s basically the “hacker movie” problem in tabletop form. Actual making involves a ton of time and most of it is boring (even if the results are amazing). It’s very difficult to translate this into the pace of a story while still making it interesting. To do so you often have to engage in flights of complete fancy, like the competitive code writing scenes in hacker movies.

@acockworkorange @Yora There’s _so many_, but I’d probably have to go with Invisible Sun. It’s glorious, but impenetrably dense.
