       @futurebird I would offer that most of writing code is knowing when to not write code :-)There's fun in writing, sure. But then there's docs, and tests, and bugs, and the biggest killer of productivity - ego.That being said, there is no substitute for having fun with code, learning new techniques or ways of thinking about algorithms, fundamental data structures, and debugging.At some point, young developers need a mentor to help them hone the skills that they have a passion to use.

       @futurebird Growing your own food is ineffecient as hell but it is good for the soul :-) I've got plans for a couple of espalier fruit trees on the south side of my garage ( in Ontario ) so I will join you in the mutual admiration society real soon now.

       @futurebird Do you call that pot of mosses battling for dominance a moss pit? Because you totally should.

       @futurebird @anubis2814 Wait until you get to your 60s and you approach retirement with nothing more to lose :-) The freedom to say what you are really thinking is liberating
