Jigsaw puzzles are not boring, nor is mundane programming IMO. Challenging stuff is super fun of course but there is something satisfying and meditative about just doing a really meticulous job even if you are doing routine stuff. Just me?
- 6DM 10y agoSorta not really, I get where you're going with it, but for me it's finishing the feature and getting it to work properly. This can involve wiring up some stuff for CRUD operations. But hey it works well and someone appreciates it, therefore I enjoy doing it. Meticulous to me is when I have to pour over some very badly written code, carefully stepping over all the frayed knots and ducking under wires, trying to make that one fix without introducing another bug. Hoping to leave behind my little corner of the room in a slightly better state than I found it. It's a thankless job and always takes longer than expected. :(
- saghm 10y agoI agree that jigsaw puzzles in general are not boring, but I also agree that 24-piece jigsaw puzzles are boring (at least, when they're not metaphorical)
