Did you know that 🤔🤔🤔

🖱️🃏 “I just wanted to practice programming… and ended up creating a break for millions.”

In the late 1980s, Wes Cherry was just an intern at Microsoft. No expectations. No paycheck. Just learning to code for fun.

One day, he had a simple idea:
“What if I made a digital version of Solitaire for Windows?”

He built it in his spare time—no deadlines, no team, no glory. Just pure curiosity and a love for the game.

When Windows 3.0 launched, Solitaire was bundled with it.
The official reason?
👉 To teach people how to use a mouse by dragging cards.

The real result?
✨ It became one of the most played pieces of software in history. A quiet escape. A little mental reset. A way to not think for a while.

Wes never made a cent from it.
No royalties. No patent.
But his tiny project became part of the emotional rhythm of an entire generation.

🎯 Wes Cherry reminds us that the simplest ideas—born from passion, not pressure—can leave the deepest impact.
Sometimes, a “little game” becomes the breather the world didn’t know it needed.
