This column dispenses some wisdom. I found coding too much busy work debugging and testing. Having to squint at the monitor to find out just which line was causing an error was an ergonomical hell what with stretched out neck and popping eyeballs. Also, I found I have a strange craving for unhealthy snacks out of frustration whenever I sit down to code. I want to get back all the time I spent on learning stuffs like java and C, C++ because I found them useless. Also computers 20 years ago had a noisy fan and they got really hot. 

It was Nietzsche who said, "The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more you need to seduce the senses to it." I fondly remember all the time I was sitting outdoors or coffee shops pretending to do math homework. Scribbling greeks al fresco - abstract doodling.
