"Sisyphean Thread" is a reminder to workaholics and beginners about not letting themselves get caught up in their work. Sisyphus is a figure from Greek mythology who was sentenced by the gods to perpetually roll a boulder up a hill in the underworld, only for it to roll back down each time he reached the top, illustrating the endless cycle of futile efforts and struggle. Do not punish yourself for the sake of craft.
