I shingled a roof today. I am a roofer. It was probably the most fun thing I've done (besides badminton) in all the months I've moved down here. I used my balance, strength, determination and intelligence, and I accomplished something. If only life were always that easy. I wish I could treat software design and programming the same way, with the same sense of presence and understanding of the size of the task.
